Just seen a photo of one of First Glasgow's E400MMC's (38 branded) well alight on the upper deck. Looks pretty bad.

Diamond bus has rear ended a 48 in WB bus station.

Saw that earlier, about 2.30? The Diamond bus looked a bit of a mess.

Was that why there was a NXWM bus parked in the little car park the back of the old Kings cinema (showing my age there!)

Seriously, hope no one was injured.

That's presumably been finished off then...

Not been assessed yet, but if not NX fault it will repairs vs book value, and that is one of the higher value B7/ALX

The current NBV would be about £3800 ex tyres based on a standard 25% CA  write down from the purchase price at an estimate but to be fair I only heard it from the impact to me from my guess it looks in my opinion that WMT were not at fault from the impact and smashed windscreen. An unfortunate incident for Diamond Buses Limited.

Oh the memories of the Kings on the WMPTE 417. Guess who was in the bus station as it happened we went straight over as soon as the smash echoed across but as far as I am aware thankfully no one was injured but I grant you it was most unfortunate for Diamond................

Not sure but saw a 42xx and the Engineers Van heading for the garage didn't look to be too much damage.

The bus parked by the old cinema was a WN trident which looked to have had a major failure on it as smoke was pouring out the exhaust.
