Bus Accidents/Incidents.

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.

Both buses I had today have been unlucky! 4481 was been swamped for an Enviro400 by Saltley this morning and now 4501

What happened to 4501? Was it the usual tight squeeze getting into a space on priory Queensway to unload?

No idea. It is possible that it scraped another bus while stopping to unload (and the other bus was taken away before you saw it). It does get very congested when multiple services reach City at the same time, that's why our 94 driver reliefs are now done in between the 94 and 70 loading stops

Free radio have just reported people unhappy with a bus advert, as it has a topless model saying" ride me for £3" bit of a controversy there

And there isn't much room there either with 55's and 94's from two different operators at that stop. Although further out, I think millennium point was a better relief point.
