Was on the road again today, so didn't do much damage to the bus

4438 was involved in some sort of rear end shunt with a YW Trident in cotteridge yesterday. Any further information will be appreciated.

21** (BC) - came onto Colmore Row, with "Private" on it's blinds as opposed to NIS. I assumed it was meant to do the 0805 24, which didnt turn up, so I put two and two together.

The inspector(?) was "summoned" by the driver, who both walked to the engine area to see the problem... Not too sure of what happened next.

LT147 was involved in an accident last night whist working route 148, seems another incident of an LT not stopping and going into the back of another vehicle.

First E400 MMC casualty I think, a couple of days to tidy that up in house or Carlyle?

[Tony]

No, 6131 was the first. Currently at Carlyle after a Diamond bus drove into the rear offside

4501 with what looks like rear near side RTC damage on Priory Queensway. Engineers currently scratching their heads how to deal with the bent body panels and the metal framework sticking out the back.
