Bus delayed by helicopter

[Justin Tyme]

This happened to me yesterday lunchtime in Corporation Street, Birmingham.  The X51 I was riding on found itself in a queue by the Law Courts, with a policeman stopping the traffic.  I wondered if it might be waiting for a prison van until a helicopter started to loom large, presumably an Air Ambulance leaving the Children's Hospital.

Fortunately the hold up was only a few minutes, and Enviro 4734 was a good bus for making up lost time.

Who would like to share with us more spectacular or strange-but-true delays?

I've been on a couple of buses around New Cross Hospital that have had to wait before the Air Ambulance has pulled onto the Helepad.

On both the 77 and 555R in Cumbria I've been held up by sheep. They have a whole mountain to explore and they choose to stand on the bloody road.

Sheep? Well that's simply hilarious.

It worked - I got a little [1] next to my profile link.

That's excellent. Question is, does it duplicate it again if an @ is in a quote?

I have only got a [1] twice so far - once for this thread and once for the "notice" thread. So I assume quoting doesn't cause duplication.

@Matt thanks, the ReadMe files of the mods aren't that in depth. Thanks again for helping me test this.

I'll delete the messages in given time.
