Hot stripper!
West Midlands Travel's, MKI Metrobus 2122 (GOG 122W) was fire damaged at Walsall Garage, allegedly by a former employee with a grudge against the Company. As a result of this the vehicle was subsequently parked up out of service in the garage, but was quickly cannibalised by engineering staff for parts to keep others in service. This continually occurred, until the bus was virtually reduced to a frame. However, in an incredible turn around, WMT finally went to the trouble of rebuilding 2122, eventually placing it back in back into service. The picture shows 2122 when stripped of parts in Walsall Garage on 16th March 1994. The scorching from the fire to the vehicle's interior roof panels in the upper saloon can be seen in this view.
