Any news on 313?

Still away being worked on (as of last night). Not scrapped though! I will let you know as soon as I hear anything more.

989 back on the road & in service on my route (HC2) this afternoon.

Oh dear green bus-?reckless driving to get ahead of diamond? Ive seen it and had a laugh with a diamond driver on the 50 before about this.....

It wasn't necessarily reckless driving! Just simply an accident, didn't turn the wheel back round quick enough after pulling out to pass a stationary vehicle perhaps?

A cyclist was actually also involved in the incident. I didn't see it happen, but the cyclist had an obvious head injury but didn't want to hang around for help and promptly left the scene (nearly getting run over - possibly again - in the process).

Strangely, the police didn't arrive until nearly 1900 (at least 90 mins after the incident and once Green Bus engineers & officials had arrived), and no ambulance showed up at all (I thought one would have been called prior to the patient leaving the scene).

All the passengers transferred onto a passing NXWM 50.

Why does this not surprise me... -_- They seem to have a death wish along the Moseley Road, and not too much better on the 35 route either, despite there being plenty of Cycle Paths in Balsall Heath/Highgate, they all prefer to hold the buses up!
