A bit of Bus Times sleuthing suggests it may have been 1494 involved?

Hopefully it was just a pure accident.

THe amount of people blaming the bus driver is a joke.

Go North East statement From over turned bus!

Gary Edmundson, operations director of Go North East said: "We've had a vehicle that left the road and due to the camber of the bank it's tipped over on its side.

"Thankfully no passengers have been injured and we have no injuries recorded for the driver.

"The next step now is working with the local police to try and understand what happened and the cause of the accident and retrieve the vehicle"

It’s been reported no one onboard the bus has been injured.

I've been on the 16 a few times where it's genuinely felt dangerous the speed they were driving.

We were nearly involved in a head on once when a driver took a left hand blind bend too fast and there were stationary cars round the corner from roadworks further up. We ended up on the other side of the road and cars coming the other way had to slam on.
