What knobs - seriously they are that wild to realise they are standing the middle of the road. Then again it's Redditch so I wouldn't be so suprised...I just wonder how that guy got onto the roof!
The bus involved looks to be 30962.

One hopes Transdev will make the person responsible pay for his damage to the bus.

Alex Hornby informed us all on the Facebook post in Transdev group that the driver is okay and the matter is in the hands of the police.

the matter is in the hands of the police.

Or in other words, they will get away with it.

I'm glad to hear that about the driver.

It sounds like there's been a pretty nasty colission between a lorry and a decker near Peterborough this morning.

One of which was the driver of the bus, and a passenger in his 70s: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-44612842

My thoughts are with the families of both in addition to the rest of the passengers who will of course be affected by this incident.

One was leaving the layover bay and the other was entering and the one leaving stopped and got rear ended. Didn't get Fleet Numbers but One was a Solo and the other an Ex Arriva Dart.

As I was getting off the 37 earlier (about 5:30pm), there was a call came out on the radio warning drivers that they should close their windows as a driver had been 'attacked' by a water bomb, along the Stratford Road between Camp Hill and Stoney Lane.

The braindead mentality of some people is just unbelievable. No doubt these 'youths' were having their bit of 'fun' and entertainment, thinking it was a 'good laugh'. But no, they don't think about consequences, what if the driver had lost control of the vehicle and caused an accident? Wouldn't have been such a 'laugh' then, wouldn't it? (Although the same braindead mentality probably finds bus crashes funny too)
