Whilst in Finchley earlier I witnessed Metroline's VP549 have an RTC, with a Mini Cooper S.
The bus was passing through the junction with Hendon Lane when The Mini swiftly moved in front of the bus causing the bus to plough through the front of the car, luckily nobody was hurt and there was slight damage to the front nearside of the bus and substantial damage to the car.

As you are not meant to drive a bus with a defect the bus was taken out of service and remained at the scene whilst the driver tried to contact centrecomm and Wilesden (AC), as there are no places to turn around the bus the driver continued to North Finchley where he turned around and ran dead back to the garage.

I guess that it will be off to CELF or just having the panels and lights replaced in house at AC
Thanks For Reading
