Another "Professional" driver hits bridge

Girl, 11, taken to hospital after bus crashes into Cardiff railway bridge.

It’s not just Stobart drivers that these things happen to.

Most probably Kronenbourg girls.

16 from the back, 64 from the front!

Bus drivers are like class 2 drivers…just playing at it,not real drivers.

You can just make out damage at the very top of the top deck, right in the centre. It’s difficult to tell from the angle, but the bridge looks much too low to cause that small amount of damage or even for the bus to fit under . Looks to me as if it’s hit a low tree branch.

I’ll leave the rest to TNUK CSI. :wink: :laughing:

Classy lads, classy, I’m sure you’re all perfect pictures of health, fitness and physique :neutral_face:

Pot and kettle anyone? :laughing:

I always assumed a buses route is planned out 100% and they have no control about where they go.

Quite possible but the single decker that’s notmally on the route may have been swapped for a DD

I worked for small manufacturing places few years back drivng a flat bed. They decide to upgrade it to curtainsider. Only so.they could advertise company name on the side. Anyway out our yard is lowishh bridge under there onto main road.

Think bridge height was 14t. What ever it was anyway new wagon wouldt fit. So meant turn right round the houses to get into the motorway.
Talk about good planning

Only a class 1 would have time to troll this poorly.

Meanwhile the real class 2 men are getting the job done while the c+e’s pose in their beloved rdc’s waiting for permission not to ■■■ in a carrier bag.

Its a grand life.

They are till that route is bizzy and some clever planner says “take that double decker” off goes Billy bus driver in his big ol’ bus being king of the road, then wonders why it stops all of a sudden when he always goes under that bridge :smiley:

Do they remove their eyeballs when they log onto the ticket machine?

No but if the driver is a regular on the route that is a single decker and the planner changes the vehicle size i can see how it happens. Given the small amount of visible damage i would guess the passengers have alerted the driver of an impending inpact (screaming/shouting), the driver has braked harshly & a standing passenger has fallen.

May be bowlocks of course.

Still… do they remove his eyeballs?

I used to allocate local buses. You know local bridges, you also know what a bus does through the day and all of the larger companies use broadly the same software which produces broadly the same kind of lay out.

The bus may have been changed but it’s no different to tugging a double deck trailer instead of a single in the surely to god the driver should be aware if the size of the vehicle?

That is precisely the reason that all vehicles over 3 metres in height are required to have the height shown in the cab. This came in to force in 1997.

oops

Easy to criticise, but easy enough done.

I used to deliver to Steel, Peach and Tozers in Rotherham with a 40ft flat with scrap bales.

All their entrances were through arches I think and I thought no more about it on yet another day sailing through. Except on this day I was towing an open top box. Got through the arch but shattered the steampipes at the other end. The impact shattered the windows in the office above. I never felt a thing and only stopped because I heard screaming and saw steam in my mirrors. This was followed by a long line of panic stricken females running past.

I was genuinely mystified, I was convinced I had been through this arch with a box before and it took a long time before I realised the true reason. Before that dawned we wondered if I had had a tyre change in the workshop over the weekend, one of our wagons had larger tyres than the rest which made him faster on the flat and slower up the banks. :unamused:
