Ouch. That must've been painful for the persons eyeball.

Define: cra:
Central retinal artery, branches off the ophthalmic artery, running inferior to the optic nerve within its dural sheath to the eyeball.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Inspector assaulted on Soho Road bus, looks like a refurbished older Enviro so guessing it was the 16

I thought they were all sent to Walsall and Yardley wood?

Edit: its soho road so must be 74/75 as 16 does not go up there and the seat handles are white not red

Its not just you. Seems like a lot across the country recently.. Stagecoach, with buses being blown into ditches, NX's numerous bumps, Arrivas fires etc...

Good news indeed, but I wonder just how quickly he would have been identified if a cash reward hadn't been offered.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

He handed himself in. Does anyone reckon he called NX himself hoping they'd give him the £1000 the dunce.
