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!
RE: Bus incidents - Drifter60 - 28 Apr 2022
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.
RE: Bus incidents - Adrian - 28 Apr 2022
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.

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)
