Where?
The coach looks like a write off. Just shows how musch crashworthiness has improved it would be interesting to see how a Mark 3 would have come out of it. Must have been doing a considerable speed.
I think it was already a wreck when it got wrecked.

I wonder if, while it was being transported, the carriage sagged a bit more in the centre, causing the front to rise a bit, so that the calculated clearance under the bridge disappeared?

That's what I thought. Apparently, an escorting police officer was watching it go through the bridge, suggesting that the normal certainty of height could not be relied upon.

Signage requests that users telephone signaller before crossing, but no telephones have ever been provided at crossing. All services are now being cautioned across the crossing while a solution is found. !!!

Reports of bridge strike Hungerford High St as I type. I'm on the 1236 Paddington to Exeter. We're being held at Hungerford awaiting inspection by a Mobile Operations Manager.

Will he/she be frisking passengers for extra cans of Tribute?
