Reported Arriva bus fire
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...s-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.

Looks like a Winsford DB250

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