Could hyperthetically if GAL wanted space could the 1 and 21 be operated from NP? How far is Hampstead Heath from NP? Probably less convenient, operationally, to operate them from NP instead of Q and NX

I would say that looks repairable. I wonder what it smashed into to have broken all those windows. My guess would be a telephone pole or perhaps once of the Victorian gas release pipes that are all over London. The way the glass is spread out from the middle would also suggest a telephone pole of some kind.

If it hit on the fins on the bin truck square in the head on rather than clipping it like most accidents with bin trucks. Although what was a bin truck doing out in the middle of the night?

Earliest around me is just after 7am.

Travelling out of London today and seen two buses parked on a roundabout on the A12 outside of the Shenfield area 🤔 in a kind of lay-by on each side

In Westminster and Camden at least bin lorries operate at night (7 nights a week from memory) However as they are hardly difficult to see it raises questions as to how anything would collide with them - unless the driver had some kind of medical incident.
