crash in Dudley today on Birmingham new road, http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2014/07/02/driver-injured-after-car-and-bus-collide-in-dudley/

New Birmingham road closed off now due to serious accident near Burnt Tree junction, road completely gridlocked apparently.

4810 with an excessively fast driver was in collision with a taxi a little earlier in Lye. Luckily only scratches apparent on both vehicles. 4810 continued in service after an exchange of details.

No story on this, but Birmingham Mail's live feed reported a collision between two buses near Paradise Circus earlier this evening:

Latest incident http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2014/07/09/woman-hit-by-bus-in-wolverhampton/

i did hear something come up on the bus radio this afternoon mentioning a diversion along Albert Rd/Paget Rd so must have been related to the same incident

Well there we go, I've had my first window put through while on the 94 this evening.

Thankfully no passengers were hurt, there were a few sitting downstairs as well where it was put through.

A commuter in Birmingham was pushed downstairs from the top deck of a bus by a thug who then got off and punched the victim in the face. Happened on a bus serving 24.
