A First Worcester Streetlite was involved in an accident with a tractor today near Droitwich Spa, damaging its nearside front and windows. I missed the fleetnumber as was driving in the other direction.

Looks like another one has had a fire according to a facebook post

Not a coincidence, obviously to do with those new e-Fans as I went to Derby last month and noticed nearly all of the omnicitys had e-Fans now.

Disguting that he'd smoke there and incredibly selfish towards anyone else on the bus that has to put up with him -

Had a bloke vaping on a 276 out of Merry Hill a few weeks ago. It was pretty much empty though so wasn't too bad, that example seems a lot worse. I have my doubts about the thing he was smoking being legal, too. Looks like NXWM are aware of it though.

Speaking of Smoking two men got on the 37 and one pulled out a Weed Spiff and started Smoking it I was stat at the back and Could Smell Weed he was then was racist to an Asian guy in Darlaston calling him a Mango eating ceeyou next Tuesday as I don't like the word. The driver never kicked them off though as they are the Company's Owners Friends or one of the Drivers friends mates. They also said they were going to best this guy up. Worst thing was there were kids big and Small on the Bus and Elderly People.
