Title: NX Dundee bus crash
Post by: Gareth on November 01, 2012, 12:35:52 AM
Ive seen a photo on google images of a NX Dundee B7 Gemini that has been de-roofed in a low bridge incident. Could not get any info on the site the photo was connected to.

Does anyone know when this was? What bus was involved? and is it being repaired?

If it is, it was Nov 2009 and was therefore repaired as none have been withdrawn

Yes it was repaired, I'm pretty sure it was 7013 involved.
