Bus Accidents/Incidents.

[MW]

Yes that's true my mate previously worked for Nat Ex and he still remembers to this day that if an incident occurs on a National Express West Midlands bus the driver is NOT to get involved as he told me if any driver does it's instant dismissal (is that correct @Tony?) I was quite surprised when he said

Yeah press the radio button and wait three hours for a response lol, unless it's the 11 which in this case it is and you might get a response much quicker

Ive only ever got out the cab once because a woman was having a heart attack. She got off the bus and the radio people said to me that because she's no longer on the bus, to continue and they've called for an ambulance.

I've had full force fights happen next to me, the one at the 11a stop in Erdington I'll never forget. Full on fist fight, blood on the floor of the bus etc amongst two people. It was as approx 40-50 people were boarding so it was interesting. I had to wait for them to finish as it was on the platform so an already late service became even later. One of them had a beer can and it splattered all over the assault screen and got onto my uniform. I then done a short journey to Perry Barr and took the bus back and went home to get a change of uniform.

But back on topic, fights and stuff I found very entertaining tbh. I had to turn away and look outside to cover my laughter lol

Just seen on Facebook that Diamond 30888 was involved in a collision with NXWM Urban at St. Paul's Bus Station earlier. I suspect both were on the 29.

Is there a chance that 1771 might not reappear in service until it gets a repaint?
