Seen nothing on Twitter about them diverting the service, as they've done that before!

If Bustimes.org is correct (not saying it is!), then the little buggers actually had a go at it in Blakenall itself, rather than Coalpool!

An Oxford Bus Company bus is currently stuck in the side of someone's house on Morrell Avenue in Oxford.

Noone was hurt, but they seem to not be able to move the bus because there's structural damage.

I'd wager the driver didn't apply the handbrake.

6968 has had a crash in Dudley this morning, on Castle Street just outside the bus station. It looks like it's gone into the cafe/chippy there.

The detail always missing from these BM articles is "what actually happened?"

The detail always missing from these BM articles is "what actually happened?"

Not trying to speculate but where its happened the weather and road surface would probably have been a factor as those paved areas are very slippery when wet.

Those cobbles can be dangerous went really wet or icy

The detail always missing from these BM articles is "what actually happened?"

Agreed but in this instance looks very much like vehicle lost control, left carriageway and struck building. No doubt the footage from the bus cameras will identify any other issues.

That may be the case but difficult to imagine how a bus would skid and lose control on a slippery road surface on a narrow, slow moving and straight section of an urban street like that.
