Most likely a 135 is involved...looks like EHV12 is the one as it logged off at 09:30.
The crash scene is still cordoned off now and all 135s are curtailed to Aldgate.

Was very shocked to hear what had happened. EHV12 was bunched with an EH on the 135 this morning, I got the EH with an EHV behind. The EHV was nowhere to be seen when I reached Old Street so I was very shocked and its pretty much no question that was the bus involved.

Very upsetting when someone just wakes up a normal day, minding their own business and they never make it home that day.

I'm very shocked as well. The 135 is my local route so I see the batch of EHVs every day. EHV12 is also among the faster ones.

So shocked that you're caring for a vehicle more than the life of a human?

The bus will inevitably be fine. The family of the deceased and the bus driver at the wheel when the horrible incident took place? Not so much.

Don't get me wrong...of course I feel very sorry for the poor family of the lady. I'm just particularly shocked because it happened to a route and a bus I'm so familiar with.
