Happened about 20 minutes ago, on the main road just before the bus terminal outside Argos, knocked down the traffic lights and railings.

u can still get in touch with the police to let them know what you saw, may be important, and the fact you were nearly hit and your buggy was struck should be known to them i reckon !

I was waiting at the traffic lights alongside the bus which was at the bus stop lay by.The bus suddenly shot forward very rapidly, taking out the railings and traffic lights and scraping along a bus in front of me.I can only think that it was a mechanical malfunction or the driver had some sort of seizure.

Your right there who else is tracked all day and timed to the second. They can't do this and can't do that but have loads more to do, in less time. Get hold of a timetable and work out the time they have to drive from point a to point b and see what I mean.

Is it just me or is that the third bus crash in as many weeks?

I think a 409 went into a 401, or the other way round. The bus that crashed into the other had a fault on the accelerator. The police have taken it away to investigate this claim. Apart from another bus and a traffic light, the bus took out an unmarked car full of C.I.D. officers. Also the bus that got hit was being driven by the Laird Street Depot's boss.
I can smell some claims. Half of Birkenhead will claim to have been on the buses and now have something wrong their necks. laugh

So have we ended up with an 810, a 405 or an 8 ??? (or possibly two 405s)
