(22 May 2025, 5:59 pm)Shrek wrote A cyclist pulled out in front of a 45 on Gosforth High Steer earlier causing the driver to make an emergency stop. Passengers said she did a great job and missed him by inches. Unfortunately a couple of Passengers were injured and they're awaiting an ambulance.

This is the third time I've heard of cyclists causing accidents on Gosforth High Street this week. The council need to look into the road urgently.

We nearly had similar on Durham Road, heading into Newcastle on Wednesday. Some dangerous **** turned right out of Allerdene and headed towards the Angel on the wrong side of the dual carriageway. Thankfully the driver reacted in time to not have to brake too hard.

6356 on the X10 appears to be smoking. 

Back in the day, we would have been told it was a wingmirror and no mileage was lost. 
I sort of miss those days.

Looks to have been YJ14BBK which was on the 96 service, also appears to have been taken to Gardiners Coach Repairs at Spennymoor following the incident from looking at the tracking:  https://bustimes.org/vehicles/shil-yj14-.../750017837

Incident involving the X12 on the A66.

Allegedly, 6317 was involved in the accident at County Hall, yesterday. The guy who was rather excitedly telling everyone on the 64 about it, this morning, might have been making assumptions but bustimes has it caught up in the disruption at the right time and it's off the road today.

Anything for a sob story in the Chronicle!

Unlike the City Centre ones, this one is with snow and ice on the road, and I think the driver has been trying to get as close to the kerb as possible to avoid slips or falls. Unfortunately, as described, it sounds like the bus has hit ice and then the shelter.

Could have been nasty, yes, but it wasn't. Not sure it's worth running to the papers and going back out there to get a photo with sad faces.

It's still a serious incident and whilst nobody was hurt, that's more down to luck. I'd say this is something the Chronicle should be reporting on.

There's road accidents every day all over the place, the paper would be full of minor accidents if we reported everyone as someone 'nearly' did something. Just because it's a bus makes no difference.

Mind as crap as the Chronic is these days, it'll probably suit them to the ground.

Can anyone remember the incident in icy weather several years ago where a bus hit a patch of ice and spun round. I believe it to be the Felling bypass (or at least near Heworth) and it was a yellow bus Olympian (possibly X10).

I've seen several news reports during the stretch of wintery weather involving large vehicles 'coming to grief' including at least 3 about snow ploughs/gritting trucks in various parts of the country.

Not sure what the aim is, scare people into not going out?

I completely disagree, I think when it involves a professional driver it always becomes newsworthy, whether that's a bus/truck/ambulance driver etc. I also think this is a serious incident where it's good fortune that nobody got hurt. I'll be interested to see what the report from the investigation shows.
