So car turning right in front of bus going straight on. Straight on always has right of way so doesn't look like bus driver's fault again

Yup. Isn't it nice when the company can claim off someone else's insurance for once?

I believe the X51 accident was a very long serving driver driving perfectly correctly when the car decided to overtake a lorry coming head on into the bus. If the driver is who I think it is he is one of the few still at Walsall who worked on trollybuses!

I always feel sorry for the driver in these situations, going about his work, not doing anything wrong and then something like this happens. Its awful  :(
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Always good to lose mileage if you've a 4.5tripper lol.  Annoying if its your last trip though.
