Thankfully it was a bus and not a bicycle, or else somebody could have been injured.
Can’t park there mate.
This seems to be a more and more regular occurrence in London
Likely pedal confusion, probably from fatigue. It’s been the same for 90% of the other RTCs that have occurred in the past few years. That’s what happens when you degrade drivers’s conditions to a point so low, they’re forced to turn up to work unable to properly make correct decisions. Unlike the railway, bus unions are in complete disarray and useless.
Weird same kind of crash happened to the Cursed Child Theatre in central. Bus mounted kerb
’tis but a scratch
That’ll buff right out, no worries
It’s nice that EV buses have speed and torque now as they can get away at the uphill lights really quick and so can I when I’m behind them.
But.. they are speeding and they are hitting stuff, twice last week in our area, so maybe speed limiters should be considered?

Drunk driving?
You went a bit over the apex there pal
Easily done
Didn’t account for the swing
That’s not an Edwardian building is it? .. the steel beam looks too new and the brick doesn’t look quite right. I’m really curious if anyone can help!

Bye bye job
Genuinely how do crashes like this happen
Just walked past and pretty sure there’s a postbox under the front of it! At least, that’s where a post box normally is and there’s a big circle under the front of the bus.
The next stop is…a building.
Max, is that you?
You can’t park there mate
What bus number is that? It could be me!
You can’t park there!
End of Prince Georges Ave …glad no one was injured – poor driver ploughed through a post box and straight into the old Diocese of Suffolk.
