Taken the wrong turn ironically near the garage.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

Looks like 4881 left 20 minutes late on its 18:15 servie.
The bus was apparently temporarily taken out of service as someone wouldn't pay their fare.

Hopefully everyone involved is okay. I do hope it won't be off the road long term again.

And hopefully she learns from this experience and stays on the pavement until it is safe to cross the road.

Sorry but buses don't just hit pedestrians for no reason, unless the pedestrian is where they shouldn't be.

First Leeds Streetdeck 35523 was involved in an incident where youths are alleged to have let off fireworks on the upper deck. It has been reported via the BBC website.

2 men and a large dog travelling round threatening passengers on the CV 11 earlier today (13:15 to Leamington Spa/E112). After boarding at Gibbet Hill Campus and travelling towards the Leamington area told a lone woman at the back of the lower deck they were going to follow her off the bus and beat her up when she gets off at her stop. They were telling each other its justified because she looked at them and later boasting to each other about how they'd similarly been threatening others on the 11 earlier in the day.
Think a ban for these 2 could be justified as well as large dogs in general.

Apparently 6988 on fire on soho Rd on 74 looks bad damage

Hopefully nobody was hurt, and hopefully the culprits will be caught and severely punished. 

The bus damage looks quite bad, but not beyond repair.
