Seen on my Facebook feed that a Yorkshire Tiger bus is INSIDE an opticians in Shipley near Bradford as opposed to being outside it. It's one of their Wright bodied DAFs but not sure which one is the culprit....
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

There's a video floating around Facebook of someone messing around in the cab of a Streetdeck...It looks like they entered the cab when the driver went to the toilet, and wouldn't get out...

Looks like he's escaped from the local lunatic asylum. Come on you Pensnett thread posters, which one of you is it?  ;D

Another one then. They lost one not long ago when being returned to Oxford from Blackburn where it had been refurbished....

A number of buses have been destroyed in an arson attack on the Abus depot in Bristol.

EDIT : It now appears that the incident might not be arson.

This hits close to home as many of my family members live no more than a stone's throw away from this incident. My last remark has no intention of exploiting this devastating predicament, but all I can hope for is that the victim pulls through.
