You couldn't make this up - especially as ColinR was saying only last
weekend that his wife refuses to use the Ely - Cambridge RRP because
last time she did, the bus got lost.

At least it didn't take its top off by trying to go through a low
railway bridge, as has happened with rail replacement buses in the past.

That happened at Camden Town a few years back, though I thought that was
a regularly scheduled bus then.


IIRC either "off route" returning to the garage and/or failing to keep
between the "aiming" marks on an arched bridge under which other buses
have been passing for many years :-

I don't think the cycle lanes existed at the time of the accident.

Kentish Town West, I believe. A bus would do well to crash into the
Northern Line in Camden Town :-)


Do you mean the North London Line? The Northern Line is under ground there.
