It was 4254 involved yesterday couldn't have been much damage as it's back out today.

Good to hear it's still going, one of the better ones at WB. Not sluggish at all like 4253, which also has a nice loud howl.

Watch irate passenger square up to National Express driver in heated row - and is launched off the bus
https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/watch-irate-passenger-square-up-17668243

An infuriated passenger forced himself into the front cab to attack the driver before being launched into the street - and it was all caught on camera.

In dramatic footage of the row, the attacker is seen shouting in the driver's face before assaulting him on board the 63 service from Birmingham city centre to Frankley. He strikes his arm, pushes himself into the cab and pokes him - but is eventually launched from the bus as tensions rise in front of fearful passengers.

Why didn't a number of passengers get up and help the poor driver?

Why didn't a number of passengers get up and help the poor driver?

The matter should be reported under "TfWM Say Something See Something " immediately by a passenger I do not think it is in any passengers interest to get personally in a matter that is the responsibility of the driver and the relevant bus company. Any matter of criminal assault should be reported to the proper authority.
