So they turned it to a crime scene because the NBFL got an injury. Scroll down to 2nd picture on the article. The whole thing can be rebuild. Even the Met police is calling the NBFL a Routemaster. No : it was because it was a nasty accident that hurt many people. Wouldn't have mattered whether it was an NBfL or any other bus... WHY 4 looks like a write off, extensive damage front and back. Suspect LT62 will be on a boat back to Ballymena to be put back together again ( I wonder if GAL will borrow one of LT 3-8 from Arriva for cover? ) The Enviro 400 (Abellio 9401) looks less damaged. Thoughts with the injured. |

This tweet suggests that an NBfL on the 11 (gasp!) has been involved (rather caused) an accident at Chelsea - hopefully all are alright:
MODS MSG I don't think it wise that we speculate too much at this very early stage - you have put a link up which people can look at and see if they wish. RM5chris 1 down only 599 more to go. Oh never mid that people have been seriously injured eh? You just make stupid comments |

MODS MSG
I am sure that member Late Again did not mean to trivialise or make light of those injured in this accident.
That said, I understand your point and I think it would be best if members could try not to turn this thread into another NB4L like/hate thread please. My colleagues and I in the moderation team will intervene and edit any such comments in this thread.

Thoughts with the injured. Not going to speculate on causes, hope the injured OK. Generally a bus dies about every 2-3 months, some due to accidents but mainly fire. Therefore over a 14 year life statistically 5-7 nb4ls will be destroyed. Don't know if repairable yet but it did manage few hours service. Better than one of the HVs which caught fire on a test run requiring a new chassis etc. (Effectively a replacement). Some parts would be undamaged and could be transferred. |

Just to clarify, the road was closed for such a long time as there was a diesel spill and it damaged the road surface. It would automatically be a crime scene with 3 people seriously injured along with the claims the NBfL jumped a red light.
Lets stop the speculation now and wait for the investigation to reveal the reasons behind this accident.
Thank you.
