A huge fire erupted on a double-decker bus in London on Wednesday, with flames seen engulfing the vehicle at the side of a main road.
GB News readers can watch footage of the bus - near Colney Hatch Lane in the north of the capital - hollowed out by the blaze as other cars file past.
Smoke can be seen pouring out of the top of the vehicle as the fire rips through the rear.
The 102 route bus came to a halt on the A406 North Circular eastbound - and Transport for London (TfL) later confirmed that nobody was injured in the blaze.

Further images from the scene just after 7.30pm show a police officer on the road as the fire continues.

"Most of the double-decker bus was damaged by fire. One man left the bus before the Brigade arrived.
