4559, one of my favourite WN deckers
A candidate to be moved to the top of the WN queue for a refurbishment and repaint ?

That may well be the case, possibly means one of the 126-branded Tridents survives a little longer

Yeah, it's 4575 I'm hoping to be the last one :)
Do hope no action is taken against the driver, that corner is just a reciepe for disaster, its tight enough in a car, let alone a bus and add obstacles like scaffolding and then an accident happens
to be fair it didn't look from the picture like there was actually any dammage to the bus at all

It could have been the scaffold company fault if they didn't put markers on the ends of the scaffold projecting in to the road, or cone of the edge of the road to force traffic to move further away from the kerb

I have to say I'm not familiar with the area, but on the pictures on the E&S website the bus does seem a distance from the kerb, and there doesn't appear to be anything in the pictures suggesting 'roadworks' as such.
Just seen it on Central News, think they had moved the bus as it was no where near the scaffolding.

Yes it has skipped the queue for repaint/refurb. I was told it was recieving repairs in the garage last week then it will be sent to paintshop.
Although 4575/9 haven't got long left in TWM livery (and 126 branding) as it won't be long before 4310/11 are back

Given that 4580's been back around a week I would imagine 4559 would've been sent off by now
Probably so. Damage wasn't that bad I believe and should probably be repaired by now
