1807 quoted yesterday by @BN as in store?

@Gareth must have misread the number 1807 is at Pensnett

Ok, so obviously not 1807 then. I'm sure those with the bus spotting app will soon correct me as to the correct vehicle.

Looks like it might be 1808 as that has been parked at Saltley Gate for over an hour

Indeed - however I think we do bustimes.org a dis-service calling it a bus spotting app - I've used it several times in different parts of the country to give me bus information which is far more comprehensive than RPTI systems - and allowing choices in routing (and where the next bus actually is on a map!!) It's also v interesting to just see buses on if you have fleet interest!

Duplicated by accident

[Squiz1971]

Saw 4646 I think seemingly broken down/NIS at the first bus stop on Moor End Road near the Pine Square Island around 19:30ish and on my way home from dropping my Sister off. I saw the bus pulling off when I noticed an upper deck window had been smashed and was missing about halfway down the top deck drivers side. Don't know what happened or when it happened was on the 72 I would ascertain

There was a car crash while I was on 4817 today, A car tried to overtake 4817 but it was unlucky as it went into somebody's hedge by the Perry Common terminus and crashed.

Stagecoach E400 15782 has had an argument with a 10'6" railway bridge in Exeter this evening - the bridge won

?

A number 23 (or rather it's driver) getting attacked in town.

Had this bus not been fitted with door interlocks, the driver could have removed himself from there very easily.

Absolute scumbags, I hope that video has been shared with West Midlands Police.

I agree totally @Stu, Alcohol seems to make people think they are either invincible or above the law like in this deplorable video. What was the point with the wing mirror it just beggars belief it really does. Lets hope these drunken people get done for criminal damage at least if not aggravated assault on an innocent bus

Assault on an innocent bus? Really? How about the absolutely traumatic experience for the driver who is being assaulted and abused doing his job.
