Pretty shocking really. Thank God it wasn't in service at the time.

The same place where recently a double decker lost its top deck by trying to go under the bridge that by-passes this LC.

The many wonders of First. Glad he was promptly shown the P45.

The tractor before him must have gone through on yellow, surely?
Just as well the signallers had as much as 30 seconds to spot him. Fine and 9 points seems too light really.

Exactly why he should have been given the full twelve points.

Could you not simply send him a PM rather than hijack this thread?
Anyways...
well done signallers, otherwise the story would be about cleaning up bits of bus....
And possibly a written off train

That wouldn't have written a train off, nothing travels through that area fast and buses are somewhat flimsier than the front end of a 66 or a 90, the only trains that rock through there at any kind of pace.
