The bus seems a long way in front of it's roof:

It looks like the height indicator on the bridge says 10' 9" or at least something 10'.

Who in their right mind would think a double decker would fit under that?

From what I have seen on Facebook, 2141 has been in the wars today, HGV gone into the side of it by the drivers cab.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I'm pretty sure another bus come out as the kids broke the wing mirrors and they broke the door on the bus also can a bus driver trap someone's legs into the door

Well 4572 was running on time or only a few minutes late as I got on at about 15:30 at Ward End.

Would another bus have arrived that quickly? Surely it would be at least 20 minutes before a change bus arrived from BC, so would have been running very late if that was the case.

im not too sure but I do know I was transferred onto X70 as he said he's waiting for police to arrive maybe he was just saying it but he did radio for police assistance

2125 is the bus involved.

The article does not directly say that speed was an issue in this accident (although the use of the word "ploughs" hints at it), but on my daily exercise walks I have been concerned at the number of cars travelling at high speed along my nearest main road, through a shopping area.

With more people cycling and walking I fear we could be in for many nasty crashes.
