Title: oops, why bus companys should put thought into their routes Post by: LiskeardRich on July 13, 2011, 21:48:36 seen this earlier on, buses were diverted due to road closure. my bus scraped its back end going up, and then the driver of mine stopped to look. (see attachement photo)
not sure whether here or the lighter side was more appropriate though! Title: Re: oops, why bus companys should put thought into their routes Post by: ollie b on July 13, 2011, 22:26:45 My school bus had to divert and grounded on a tight bend in Halberton

I have done it once or twice and have been on buses which have done so. optare solo's luckily do not seem to have this problem due to the front wheel being placed before the door.
