Kilmarnock bus crash sees double decker roof ripped off as four people are taken to hospital

[@Ronald-o9x]

Totally incredible. This is private bus companies hiring unqualified drivers to save money! Astonishing why they get off with it. I've been on buses where the " driver" looked totally unfit to drive a public vehicle. More scrutiny must be done into these private bus companies!!!

My son has been a bus driver for 25 years ( wanted to be one since he was 7 years old). He ALWAYS goes over any new route the day before in his car , noting schools , bridges , hidden bus stops etc. Touch wood he has been accident free.

@prideofdurham4776even if he was lost I’m guessing he’d stop short of the bridge,god knows who these people are.

Someone I know was on that bus

PMSL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Its a STAGECOACH bus. Thats a massive company, nationwide operation. Its totally incredible that you think a big company like that would risk its O-Licence by hiring "unqualified" drivers. The driver was a human, most likely had been driving single deckers and then found themselves in a double one day and a few hours in, just forget at the wrong time for a split second that its a double and hey presto its a single deck and people are hurt. You must be perfect and never made a mistake in your life. Why dont you go and drive a bus and show everyone how easy it is. Go on, film it, i'll wait...

Trust Kilmarnock to invent the world's first ring pull bus. True Scottish innovation.

@HughTrodden-mj2bv Making into Kilmarnock from Hurlford on the London Road turn right onto Culzean crescent, up to Piersland Park. The junction from the bridge is opposite the park, it is a one road. Hope that helps.

🤣. Well we did invent everything from the refrigerator, flush toilet to tyres, tv, phone and so much more so why not that!😂

What about instead of silly small height measurement numbers there should be new warning signs of a big RED bus with a cross through it. Or even better still how about the buss company bosses design routes which busses should never be near low underpasses. Even have camera sensors on underpasses which automatically detect vehicles too high to go under.
