Wow! That is just incredible. They describe the bus' weight so much.

Ryanair would probably charge a £50 pushing fee!

Although the report describes this as a coach, the remains look more like a Trident

And Stagecoach deroofing an E400, but this time the driver was on route, Someone had given him a double decker to go under an 11'6" bridge!

This might help a bit?


Nowadays engine fires seems to always be on Tridents. ALX400 tridents, these engines are riddled with so much bad luck.

I like how the branch looper bars are pretty much perfectly in place but the rest of the top deck isn't!

From yesterday's Evening Standard re LT 62 crashing

That has got to be the most infuriatingly annoying website I've ever been onto. Is there really a need for these tabloids to ruin our browsing experience by these banner adverts and other scrolling adverts? Jeesh.

The video looks very scary to be honest, although luckily skilful has he blasted through that red light avoiding that yellow car.

I am struggling to believe brake failure as a cause though, and how would the bus accelerate by itself? Maybe someone familiar with these computer driven drivel buses can teach me.

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.

I don't think you are the only one to be confused Charlie, think the video creates more questions than it answers.

Its a pity the reporter didn't do their research prior to publishing this; the Balloch and Croy that the bus was supposed to serve are in the Highlands, not West Dumbartonshire!
