I presume the power of the water pushed all the windows/glass through?

For those of you who don't don't this beautiful part of the world, the Richards Brothers service 411 between Haverfordwest and St Davids runs along the main A487 road. At Newgale the road runs right behind the beach and it was here that the bus was swept off by the wave!

The road was closed for several days a few weeks ago as the road was blocked by debris from the beach from the previos set of storms. As the report says Pembrokeshire County Council were going to close the road again when this happened. Presumably they hadn't passed on a a message to Richard Bros that it might be a good idea to suspnd the service....
