MOTORISTS travelling into London face delays on the A12 throughout rush hour following a bus fire.

The double decker bus has become welded to the road following the fire at around 11.30pm yesterday.

The A12 westbound between Redbridge and Greenman roundabouts is likely to fully re-open later today.

No-one was injured by the fire on the bus which happened as the driver was alone on the vehicle.

At 6.20am police said one lane had reopened but the inside lane remained closed and congestion was expected.
