You beat me to it Tom. But it doesn't matter, sad that it was 2570, a very good bus that one.

Yeah it was. Engineering have spent a lot of money on it too. Always the way.

It's a bus. As long as the people who were involved are alright nothing else matters

Not sure how much damage but have been told it's pretty bad front end damage. There is 2555 in the yard which might be used to donate parts but who knows. It depends how everything else is underneath. Versa 998 is currently here on loan to cover. On X4/4s today.
