So did I.. 

Unless this forum has become over zealously moderated like a certain dictatorship in East Asia, or a Facebook group a lot closer to home!
There was definitely a thread in the past…

On this, Bus Times seems to suggest the bus involved hasn’t yet returned to service.

Think as long as people handle these discussions sensitively - and don’t speculate on causes etc. - there’s no need to censor it.
Unsure what has happened to the previous thread, but it's not been a deletion by the moderator team. We're really not bothered about accident/incident discussion on here, as long as it doesn't get into naming names.

Oh.
65 (5392) crashed in Murton today, was 10 mins late, took a corner way to fast and hit a car by the looks of it, know there was a previous incident with the 65 where it hit the island at Hetton when turning due to a delivery truck (red paintwork is still there)

Howay man. Speculation and identifying drivers isn't the best idea.

Seems like an odd place for a fire to break out

Yeah, I mean it's not ideal it happening on a bend in a road, outside the entrance to a new estate. But if a fire is going to break out, it will break out. Wherever the bus is.
21 towards Brandon seems to have crashed on the Bridge on the way to Gateshead

Services are currently using the Tyne bridge both ways.

Not unheard of for a wrecker to take that long to recover something.
