A bus has lost most of its roof after the driver forgot he had switched from a single to a double decker and tried to drive it under a bridge (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7316147.stm The Stagecoach bus hit the Kirkcaldy railway bridge at about 1215 GMT on Wednesday after taking a wrong turn. One of the seven passengers travelling between Glenrothes and Kirkcaldy had slight head injuries. It happened in Dunnikier Road under the bridge, which carries the main east coast railway line. Network Rail inspected the bridge for damage. This sort of thing happened on a number of occasions in the past at the bridge adjacent to Portchester railway station, in my part of the world. These days though, all the services near there are operated by single-decker buses. |

A double decker bus has had part of its roof ripped off after crashing into a bridge (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7572641.stmThe accident, involving a Stagecoach bus, happened on Tuesday after the driver went under the bridge on Dunnikier Road, Kirkcaldy, Fife. The driver was taking his bus back to the depot at the time, but the route is only meant for single deck vehicles. It is the fifth time in the last few years that a double decker has hit the bridge. The bus was out of service and only the driver was onboard when the accident happened at about 1800 BST. He was uninjured. |
