I love the fact that the Mail felt the need to comment on the fact that it was a female driver...  Grin

^ has the bus moved since the crash as it hardly "almost careering down the street level entrance to the station"

There are other entrances that you can't see that come up to street level from underground just by the main entrances....the bus got towed away around 4 oclock

*edits*

Actually, if you look at the first picture on the first link, you can see the staircase just underneath the wheel on the right!

ah, there's an entrance there too. I stand corrected.
although I still don't think a 2.5m wide bus would still "career down" what looks like a 1.5m staircase. Meh

hey, I never claimed to know anything about cars. I don't.  I would have liked to assume mechanics would know what they are up to. Tongue

I don't know but I got a weird message earlier which told me that Sophos had identified a harmful virus and therefore couldn't open the page I'd requested.
