Talk about idiots !

The Birmingham Mail is no longer a 'news' website, just full of non-news 'click-bait' articles. Rather than condemning the pair of twats, they're actually promoting them. They should be passing the video to the police, rather than sharing it further. Will just encourage more twats to do the same.
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

Plus, this video was actually published on Youtube a few years back!

I just noticed at first there on a Volvo B7RLE single deck whereas inside it looks like a double Decker B7TL or Envrio and branded to whereas the Single deck wasn't so it is fake.

Obviously it is more than one incident, they take place on different buses at different times

A car hit the nearside rear panel on 6816 while it was at a bus stop. A small dent on the grille

4799 was involved in a collision with a pedestrian this evening in the city centre whilst on the 94. There was police everywhere and paramedics on the scene. The inspector then moved 4799 to a bus stop and parked it up with hazards on so the traffic could start moving again. There was severe congestion with buses at a stand still for at least half an hour.
Favourite buses currently:
871, 1828, 4421, 4764, 6101, 6108, 6116, 6118, 6121, 6848, 6849
Least favourite buses currently:
4203, 4213, 4398, 4419

Not trying.to say it didn't happen because I didn't see the actual incident, but from where i was (still waiting for an X51, by the law courts) the person was lying on the ground a good few yards in front of the bus.
However if they were hit by 4799 what we're they doing on that part of Old Square when there's a bloody crossing like 5 yards away
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

4799 never seems 2 have much luck.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

If it was involved it can't have been serious because it was on the 94 this evening

Hi,

With all the winds and gales we're experiencing, it reminds me of a news clip I saw when I was a child of a MK1 WMPTE Metrobus that had a tree fall on it somewhere. I think the driver may have died sadly. I've tried to find the article but to no avail....anyone any wiser?

I think it may have happened sometime around a hurricane occurring, but which one I'm not sure. 1980's?
