Looks like the vehicle was 4260 judging by the registration...

Hearing reports that 4866 had an accident at Aston Six Ways earlier whilst on the 51...First day out in service too since having the crimson treatment...

Does it really matter what the bus number is? A woman died and all you care about is the bloody bus number. Some people need to get their priorities straight!

Yes I know a woman has died...I'm merely stating which vehicle was involved...No harm in that...I haven't said anything which had offended anyone or said anything about the incident...So I think you need to calm your tits @Dom...

Not surprised, drivers round there show no consideration for Buses.

According to a message I was sent earlier, one of the Great Barr school kids apparently kicked a window out on 6732 earlier in Perry Barr...

So, I was aboard 4515 on me way to work while it was on the 11C when a youth threw a brick into lower deck window.

Quite nerve racking.

Had something similar happen a good few years ago back when there was a 404H, it definitely is nerve wracking. Thankfully the window did its job and the brick didn't go through.
