The driver of X373 NNO has just ripped the upstairs front nearside corner off the bus on Foregate Street. He caught the little overhanging bit on Burger King. He had a look and carried on with passengers on board. Not good.

Not entirely sure what you expect the driver to do, do you expect him to drop his passengers off there and then when the bus is still serviceable, this is the sort of thing that can be dealt with later on providing there isn't a big hole internally upstairs.

2 windows and bodywork gone. Should of offloaded his passengers on to the next bus. It was on the city rail link so only about 5 minute wait.

Actually X373NNO has only one damaged window which is the second one left side as I am visiting Helms Of Eastham depot now and the glass man is now fitting a new window to 124 now off T38 KLD which is now used for spares.And what you do forget Sean is that Mr Cherry looks on this on a regular bases

I do hope that if he has come in to contact with building , that the owner of the building has been notified as well , possible structural damage .

Yes. People out assessing the damage today. Not looking good though because its a listed building.

Its not a case of just putting things back on a building anything used has to be assessed for its suitability , oh the cost soon mounts up.
