I was thinking more Reg Varney myself.I've just seen a video of the bus crash in Eccles, and my immediate thought was that it was driven by Roger Moore ( as James Bond) in Live and Let Die.

I don't remember Reg taking the roof off a bus when he was in "On The Buses ".I was thinking more Reg Varney myself.
Pray enlighten me if I'm wrong.

I bet Inspector Blake wasn't very happy with him.

This guy was filming the guy who was filming, instead of ...I've seen a video of some bellend in the car behind filming the aftermath for social media likes instead of perhaps using his phone to call an ambulance or getting out of the car to help people. Thick c*nt.
I use buses a lot and have the Bee Network app where you can track the bus. Multiple times I’ve watched the bus tracking show the bus turn down the wrong road after the hospital and have to come back on itself and turn up 10-15 minutes late at the stop outside my flats.I'm not being funny but this Bee Network shite has been appalling.
My daughter's school bus before the bee network took over was always on time, was a reasonable size and NEVER got lost.
Now?
A vehicle just slightly bigger than a minibus turns up, kids standing up half the time as there are no seats, that's when it does turn up, always late. One day it ended up going halfway into Manchester despite the kids telling the bus driver he was going the wrong way.
Half the time on a Friday it never turns up. It's been a complete and utter fuckin shambles.
So it's no surprise that something like this has happened. I think it's a case of the management saying to a driver " here's your keys, there is your map, there's your bus, see you later."
A few times the bus just carries on and goes to Civic and doesn’t bother coming back where it’s meant to so I don’t get the bus for another 30 minutes.
A lot of the time the bus is at the terminal at either Wythenshawe or Altrincham and says it’s on time, only for it to sit there for a further 30 minutes until the next one is meant to leave.
This never used to happen before the Bee Network came in.

I'm surprised people become bus drivers, such a low wage and yet you could have a lapse in concentration and end up in jail.Strangeways here he comes.
Not many low paid jobs come with that risk ...plus there's always the chance you come face to face with an absolute pissed up maniac who decides to have a go at you.
