No why don't we comment on a bus forum that it's Hilarious that he got injured when his bus flipped over and then still say it's hilarious when other people have told us that it's very serious

What are you on about?

I was responded to a comment I quoted about if he had got injured we would all would have laughed because he finds people getting injured funny so I responded if he got injured we'd all find hilarious despite being told that it's not so I sending a message to @MW that don't laugh at people getting injured otherwise people will laugh at you if you get injured.

Okay this is my last response. With you, BusFan, I forgive you because I suspect that you're mentally challenged.

The rest of you. The image of the bus on its side is hilarious. I didn't mention people getting injured.

It's no big deal.  People got hurt, but the scene looks rather strange.  Let's stop all of this talk and get back to topic.

.......Anyway back onto topic. I was in Bordesley Green earlier and some youngsters thought it was a good idea to keep lifting the engine cover off 4472 (I think). The driver got out the cab and closed it and as he was driving they kept doing it. I could be wrong here but I think the driver in frustration probably drove down the road until he was out their sight and the put the cover back down.

Talk about taking the mick.

People getting injured not funny (personally)
Seeing a bus on it's side is funny (personally)

Most sensible response yet, and one that I would agree with. Yes, it is not nice that people have gotten injured as a result of this, but who can't resist just a little chuckle at the sight of a bus lying on its side, it is a little amusing.

Sorry I don't find a bus on it's side even slightly amusing. I certainly wouldn't want to be driving a bus that ended up on its side, so cannot see why any accident damage at all is the slightest bit funny

I think that is or was a Wright Eclipse Gemini (presumably a Volvo B7TL chassis if so).

Are these London ones Voith like 4687-96 or are they more similar to 4635-79? Or neither of course

I think they are the same as the 46xx at Acocks Green, they were part of the same order

The driver of 4295 told a kid boarding the bus that he couldn't get on as there was no room and it was overcrowded. The kid then punched the wing mirror leaving it smashed and ran off.
4295 was on a 11A at the Yardley Road, Francis Road stop in Acocks Green.
