It was one of the Frquenta examples. it was in an absolute state, with possible fire damage and exterior panels missing and interior fittings being partially ripped off. I had assumed it might have been caught up in the riots tbh.

Wonder if it might be whatever this bus is - https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?tid=4560&pid=312087#pid312087

(18 Oct 2024, 7:39 pm)Storx wrote Going to keep it blunt, but does anyone know what happened with the Pulsar at Guisborough today? Seen an empty bus with 2 ambulances outside and a paramedic passing when travelling further up the road. Just checked bus times and it appears it was 1453 on the 5.

Didn't look good, hope whoever it was okay.

(21 Oct 2024, 5:13 pm)deanmachine wrote I'm wondering if it's the design of these new bus stops. I'm not justifying bad driving, but some of the ones in Sunderland are a lot closer to the edge of the kerb than the ones they replaced, the side without the advertisements that are most likely to be clattered by a bus pulling in. However bad design is arguably nearly as responsible for incidents as bad driving.

(21 Oct 2024, 2:37 pm)Rob44 wrote See Newcastle council have put the plastic cones inform of certain bus shelters in the city centre to stop buses clipping them.  From what I hear the most recent incident with a bus hitting a bus stop the whole of the shelter lifted ( including pathing stones) and collapses on the person under it.  I assume they are doing health and safety on the all?

(22 Oct 2024, 8:52 pm)DeltaMan wrote NEXUS website has a list of the stop locations, some of which are outside the city and not obvious locations for "clipping such as Shields Road Morrisons, which would indicate a structural issue with the stops themselves.

Assume it's all linked to the accident on Market Street a few months back.
