Reported Arriva bus fire - knutstransport - 04/09/2020 09:02
Can't be sure which depot this bus would belong to, presumably given where it happened and no mention of any passengers would mean it was an empty movement, perhaps before/after a school contract or a bus that was being transferred from one depot to another: https://www.knutsfordguardian.co.uk/news/18695706.bus-fire-a556-near-bowdon-halts-traffic/
This is the second Arriva fire reported in recent weeks with BBC North West showing images of one of their Solos catching fire in Merseyside a few weeks ago.

The earlier fire to which you refer wasn't an Arriva bus - it was Huyton Travel.
