I'd say there was no winner there. Quite a major scrape.

I'd say that ALX400 had to scrape itself on the MMC to get one of it's panels off.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

This is unconfirmed, but I am also hearing that one of our deckers hit the train bridge in Station Road, Erdington last night while Not in Service. No idea which bus was involved.

One of Stagecoach Nuneaton's Solos returned to the garage recently, minus a wing mirror. The driver's excuse to the engineer was genius: "An albatross pulled it off, flew away with it and dropped it into a hedge".

Not an accident but just saw 6137 being towed by a Mansfield truck in Walsall!

I just realised it was that bus 4447 hit on other day. Maybe coming back from repairs?

I'm fine. I was upstairs..... then heard a bang. Driver of the car was threatening to call the police (even though it appeared that the car cut the bus up!)
