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)

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

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).
