4959 it was due for a repaint so will it be repaired and repainted or scrapped
I like the comment 'the bus driver should have gone to specsavers', they'll probably be getting a P45 for that.

The event only happened today, wait til the actual experts assess the damage and make a decision. No one is going know now

Yes I saw that on the Brownhills Website, why when he saw the Bridge, did he /she continue to proceed, it clearly isn't big enough for a Double Decker

The same as for most road traffic accidents - lack of concentration / human error
