Some time this morning, in the early hours, someone set fire to 3 Stagecoach buses parked in Paignton Bus Station. Two deckers and a single decker were completely burnt out. Stagecoach are confident that services will not be affected by this. I expect they might be beefing up their security following this attack.
Bus fleet numbers were 16064, 16775 both 20 year old Olympians and an 8 year old Solo WA04TXX fleet number 47106.

Iv'e always thought it was risky parking buses up there overnight. At the very least they should employ overnight security. If Harry Blundred hadn't flogged of the Newton Road garage there wouldn't be a problem now.
Up until quite recently there was a night security/cleaner.

I wonder if the fact they were both 20 year old Olympians is pure coincidence? They're being used on the 12A route because London has pinched the easy access buses for the Olympics, & all I have heard is people moaning that it is difficult for mums with push chairs and the elderly to climb aboard. It could be someone was trying to tell Stagecoach something..... but a letter would suffice I am sure, setting fire to them is not really on is it!
O well shit happens
That Solo will be in barbie livery and on schools duty for First within a week
