On the plus side, another Borismaster bites the dust (for now at least...)

Is it one of the prototypes or one of the recent deliveries?

@Nathan Looks like a prototype as the 38/N38 only has the first one...
@Matt nothing wrong with the Borismasters!

One of the virtues of 360 degree CCTV should have this settled in a matter of weeks. Good old TfL

It is LT176, TFL are currently in the process of converting the 38/N38 to New Routemaster operation.

All new Routemaster plates begin LTZ

Whilst on the topic of crashes - Two school buses collided yesterday, one Volvo Palantine & the other a Dennis Dart (which, imo, is a silly choice for a school bus anyway) - I read it in the Metro this morning, one boy suffered serious injuries & had to be flown to hospital, with an air helicopter. Let hope the best for him.

Dreadful incident, but why is a dart a 'silly choice for a school bus' It wasn't full & standing so obviously had enough seats for the run it was doing, so what makes it a worse choice than any other bus with the same number of seats

Yes, an awful incident and I only saw one of those darts the other day. Very smart they are too but quite why it is a bad school bus choice?! Happily no-one at this stage has died as a result.

I just though with the size of the vehicle, it wouldn't cope with all the people sitting down. I've used a poor choice of words then. :/
