Not too much damage, 98% chance that it will go to Carlyle.

Another bus got stuck in the pothole in Solihull town centre; he eventually got it out! Then a b7rle lost his near side mirror to a Gemini!

Interesting how Rhys Hand posted a tweet on his Twitter account in the early hours of this morning saying he "will be absent from work" today - not long before the time at which the fire is alleged to have started

Not that far from Bristol to Merthyr either is it

All I have to say about that is hmmmm...how coincidental. :-)

That looks like the stretch of Holyhead Rd only covered by the 900 - I think the Diamond 82 runs that way too on its way to Solihull.

Quoting the article: "It was a single-decker. No passengers were inside."

May have been running dead

The timing given suggests it was likely heading for Coventry Rail Station to commence the X30 service at 0650.
