Trident 4194

Something happened in belle vale. 1525 on 004 was running 30 down, and I saw an 002 not tin service? Flooded maybe?

Not quite so exciting. The pedestrian crossing had got stuck on red.

How does that cause a 30 minute delAy?

Does the fact it's illegal to Pass a red light give a clue

There was a similar incident at New Street station a few weeks back. Buses were tailing back to fiveways would you believe. No Bristol Road buses for well over an hour.

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.

He/She must have been doing some to manage that! The bus looks as if it was stationary (or just coming to a stop) at a bus stop.
Looks to be 36153 if I made out the reg correctly.

Can't really tell. But there was a bit of damage to the rear of a blue hatchback Hyundai. I can't say for sure, the photo I was sent was blurry... Though in hindsight, with photographic evidence, my friend hasn't been 100% reliable ALL the time. ::) - Sorry for any inconvenience, if untrue.
