Fire crews battled for the best part of an hour to extinguish flames after a double-decker bus set on fire on a busy main road.

At around 8.35am, two fire engines were called to Bay Gateway in Lancaster after receiving reports that the bus was 'well alight' in the middle of the carriageway.

Luckily there were no passengers on board and the driver on the bus was not injured.
