I was watching Action News and they showed Eldaro Transmark bus 4572 with its rear end burnt to a crisp after a fire was reported by the operator as they were returning it to Frontier.

The other 77 or 78 could burn down as well. As long as no one gets hurt!

4579 burned down at that same location several months ago! ( i think)

Wow...I wonder what's going on with the El Dorados where they are catching fire in the front!

If there was a story that aired on Channel 6, it hasn't hit the web yet.

When I saw the piece on 6, it showed the BACK end burnt up and the front looked fine. Doesn't look good for this bus. Maybe it's a good thing they left Delaware County.

I think it's the way they're treating them up there (no offense Frontier) because before Victory's Eldorados were sent up there, it was pretty peaceful (with the exception of another frontier Eldorado)

There is a good picture of the bus in the (Lansdale) Reporter today on page 1. The bus was burned down to the frame from the rear wheels back.

Is this another going to be retired due to a fire? And this fire started from the brakes again? I hope Septa is looking into the Eldorados because pretty soon another fire can happen on one and maybe it can be even worse.

I disagree. 4539 was never a Frontier bus, and 4552 caught on fire before it moved out here...

I am wondering what the deal is with the spontaneous combustion, though.
