Arriva North West - Southport Depot
RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
It's in the echo about the crash, judging by the report it doesn't sound too bad.

Something was going on on Pinfold Lane, Woodvale, with a 49 and a red car about half an hour ago. The driver was off the bus and the bus and car both blocking the road.

Is it just me or does Southport seem to get a hell of a lot more bus crashes compared to other depots? Especially given the low number of vehicles here compared to other depots, seems to be a lot of crashes over the past few years!

Canning Road has had a run of bad luck recently. The roads are mad these days though and getting worse. I think that being a bus driver is a difficult occupation as your constantly faced with these risks. The majority of bus drivers are professionals and treat their passengers with respect and courtesy, but there are some who are accidents waiting to happen. There again that's the same in every walk of life I suppose.

I thought this a few years ago so it's not a recent thing. I wondered whether it might be due to a local Southport forum at the time meant crashes were highlighted in that area more but the actual number of accidents was no different from anywhere else.
