It's their most recent purchase from Abelio London and Surrey.

It was bus zfr which looks to be a write off. Whilst the investigation is still proceeding I can't say much. What I can say is that all concealed are safe & escaped with minor injuries. The police have said 100% our driver was not at fault & it is a miracle of christmas that noone was seriously injured.
I should like to thank all those from select central buses & arriva for their concern & your thoughts have been passed on to our driver who would like to thank you all for your thoughts.

It is good that no one was hurt! Especially this close to Christmas. It is a shame that one of @Steveminor 's vehicles are practically destroyed. Will Social be drafting in a replacement?

[Steveminor]

That will be in the hands of the insurance companies now but almost certainly what & when as I say is in the hands of the insurance companies. An accident like this is awful at any time but on Christmas Eve especially so.

Hope the driver makes a full recovery @Steveminor

Hope the driver is OK Steve minor. Bad luck whatever day it happens but Christmas eve ouch. Hope you get sorted quickly

@Steveminor - That is a shame about the accident that KV03 ZFR had especially as it was on Christmas Eve. Although that is good to hear that nobody was seriously injured. I hope that the Social Travel driver and everyone involved is ok. Also KV03 ZFR is the newest bus that Social Travel have (although i think that they have another 03 reg MPD but i do not know the registration number) so it is a shame for it to have been involved in an accident. It will be interesting to see if Social Travel get any replacement vehicles - although they might not need a replacement as from 11/01/2015 they will only have a PVR of 4 - and i believe that they already have 6 other vehicles in service.

Only one bus on 74 again

@ntw456 - I suppose that one of the buses could have broken down or not be available to use. Do you know if this has been all day or just for part of the day.
