Today I spoke to the owner of the TX1 that caught fire on waterloo station a couple of months ago. Completely burnt out as you saw on the photos. Well, it's back on the road with a new driver.

Salvaged the VIN plate and replaced everything else?

Apparently the owner had a write off in his yard and all that could be salvaged from the burnt cab was the engine, gearbox and chassis so he made one good cab from the two. Not sure of the legalities of it, but he did.

The chassis must have been damaged in the fire or weakened, and it should not have been put back on the road.
