Police cordoned off the road where three cars had been totalled by the Go Ahead operated bus before it tore through three front gardens.

Kenneth Hillman, a resident who saw the crash, said: "It sounded like a bomb had gone off. There were about three or four loud explosion-like sounds as I was sat in my chair.

Not good on a 65 reg bus if the brakes have failed.

Improvement to the front end design though.

If it is a genuine brake problem what about the rest of the batch especially if it is a component failure, if it is then it could have far wider implications within the industry

Maybe they should do the same to them all prior to delivery!
