Flights resume at London Stansted after bus fire

Flights resumed at London's Stansted airport on Saturday after a shuttle bus fire forced the cancellation of flights as the busy Easter long weekend got under way. The fire outside the terminal entrance started at 4:20pm (1520 GMT) on Friday and was completely extinguished by 5:00pm (1600 GMT). Departures at Britain's fourth-busiest airport, 30 miles (50 kilometres) northeast of London, were scrapped for the rest of Friday but all flights resumed as normal on Saturday.
The blaze was caused by an electrical fault in the bus engine. The bus was completely destroyed. The driver was the only person on board and nobody was injured. "In total, around 100 flights were either delayed, diverted or cancelled," a Stansted spokesman told AFP. Around half of those were thought to have been cancelled and roughly 10,000 people were thought to have been affected.
