Just from a news story here this morning - but I'm surprised just how comprehensively the fire destroyed it. Well above the melting point of aluminium I guess.
It calls it a coach, incidentally, but it's just a double-decker bus I think (albeit one obviously geared for use on the motorway)

Just call the maid with the broom and dustpan to take care of that little mess!
I was thinking a shop vac would do the trick

No idea I'm afraid, but I'll keep my eye-out for any follow-up reports that mention the bus or operator

It was a Green Bus. They operate school buses and charters. Fleet is four or five different manufacturers and bodied by British companies.

It would have been a good bus to take to Burning Man (or to Up Helly Aa in Shetland).
