SCOTS locals have been left outraged after a bus allegedly left a huge pool of diesel in its wake along a residential street.
Residents of Kirkcaldy, Fife spotted the coloured pool of leaking liquid on Macindoe Crescent this morning after a number 39 bus allegedly drove by at about 7am.
Seemingly not limited to just the one street, disgruntled locals claim that the bus continued to leak along its entire route, with roads near Glenrothes allegedly also covered in the substance.
Shocked Scots have now raised concerns, with some claiming that the area’s buses, ran by Stagecoach, are “well past their sell-by date”.
An image of the leak shows the huge puddle of diesel on Macindoe Crescent, turning the tarmac an iridescent rainbow hue.
The diesel covers most of the road, turning the street into a slipping hazard as the slick substance coats the surface.
The bus allegedly continued to leak along its whole route from Kirkcaldy bus station to Allan Street in Leslie, near Glenrothes.
Other images of the leak captured by outraged locals in different areas were later shared showing the area the spilled fuel covered.
The snap was shared to social media this morning with the caption: “If anyone’s out on bikes today in Kirkcaldy there’s a bus chucking diesel all over the roads.”
The post has since received over 140 likes and dozens of comments from locals who were quick to share their thoughts on the spillage.
One user said: “That is so sick, someone lighting a cigarette [or] drops a match, just go like a bomb going off (sic).”
Another added: “An unusual one, who will take responsibility for that, who do we complain [to] today because nowadays trying to complain to the council or get access to a councillor that will help is like asking a prayer to God.”
A third joked: “Whoever dropped their full share size bag of Skittles they were having for breakfast this morning will be absolutely gutted.”
Another wrote: “The Stagecoach fleet in Kirkcaldy are well passed their sell-by date. Replacements needed.”
Stagecoach has been contacted for comment.
