Fleetline 6974

[craighu]

Casting my mind back to circa 1990/91 I remember Perry Barr Fleetline 6974 came to grief on the College Road, opposite Moor Lane sports field whilst working an early evening 107 or 113. It ended up embedded in a garage of one of the bungalows on that stretch. Luckily no-one was badly hurt if I remember right, but I was amazed at how this had happened...as that stretch of road is straight and the bus had ploughed across a wide pavement and a front drive! Does anyone know anymore about this incident? Needless to say, 6974 did not work again after this.
