You may consider the bus station to be a joke, but it is up to drivers to be aware, it has been open long enough.

Not rare, but an irregular sighting, the 78 is the depot spare route, and many arriva have spare DB300S

Dont you think during the planning stage they have compensated for deckers. MPTE is spot on its down to the drivers

Just to reiterate what I have already said, the canopy at Halewood Shopping Centre does not extend onto the road, hence the previous claim that deckers couldn't be used on the 75/76 as a consequence is wholly inaccurate. It must have driven onto the pavement if it did strike the roof.

Oh right! Well i shouldn't have come to such quick conclusions! Undecided

I wonder if the driver will be punished for the damage?

The roof is parallel to the pavement so if the front offside sweep off the bus swings over the pavement then BANG, as happened in this case.
Just to point out this wouldn’t normally affect buses. This accident happened in the taxi rank, oops!

Woopsie, what was it doing in the taxi rank?
