Easy mistake to make to be honest -- I dare say John will have a few of these!!

Yes I have, not on a kerb that big!!

Reminds me of the high kerbs on the Aldridge By-pass on the railway bridge. It is a lot easier than it looks to get a bus through those (as they are on both sides of the single lane). I have always feared hitting one if I had to drive a bus over that bridge

Try a Tri-Axle coach around the winding roads of Wales with various chicanes up and down mountain roads... bollards in Midlands are nothing!!

The 77/77A circulars and the 78 in the Lake District are the best for that sort of thing, especially the 78 as it's allocated Tridents/Olympians along roads which are challenging enough in cars.

The 77/A has the most spectacular scenery and terrifying drops though. Strictly Optare Solos only as they are literally the only buses that can make it up the hills, plus there is the risk of ploughing into another car, a rambler or a herd of a sheep around every corner.

Sorry to wander off topic, but I recommend the 77/77A for any enthusiasts who like challenging and scary routes coupled with breathtaking scenery
