The quote next to your username is hilarious. Underneath "Very regular poster"

If you walked into a bus company showroom you would use Diamond - it's lovely, it's elegant, it's beautiful. It is quite simply the best. And Britain should have the best. In the world of the buses it is the Saville Row suit, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Château Lafitte 1945. It is the bus operator that Harrods would sell you. What more can I say?

Diamond bus getting a bit cosy with a central bus i think? West Brom high Street

The solo has damage to the front, so there must be another vehicle involved too.

from what i have been told (so how true it is i don't know) is that the diamond bus had lost its brakes due to low air pressure (but the driver decided to carry on? WTF) :o. The bus then failed to stop and went into the rear of the central bus which went into a car which has gone into the rear of an ambulance and that into a taxi.

an empty bus is a happy driver.

Central Buses

I can confirm that this serious incident was non-fault on Central Buses' part and involved four vehicles.

Translation: This serious incident was due to the incompetence of Diamond.
