Bristol Temple Meads Trip

Bristol Temple Meads Trip Yesterday me and bobby Went To Bristol Temple Meads. The day started with me and bobby meeting at the train station around 0845 we collected our tickets and boarded the 0925 Cross Country Service to Bristol temple meads. We then collected a small amount of photos and videos. Around 1300 we went into the city centre to get our lunch and headed to the bus station and collected loads of photos which can be seen at photosbytom.fotopic.net. It was then time to head back to the train station just enough time to get a few more pictures and videos before it was time to board the train to Plymouth. overall a great day out, although sadly none of my videos came out

Whilst walking up to the train station to catch a bus into town, I was a little early so I decided to take a look at some of the rail replacement coaches. Whilst taking a photo of a gray cars coach (that sadly did not come out ) I noticed it was my good friend mike he was doing a Dead rail replacement service to Exeter St David’s after a long chat to him he offered to drop me at the bus station along with 6 other people i then met up with bobby and his dad. We then went to catch the service 11 to john kitto we then headed to the Trathens Coaches depot to take some pictures. we finished taking photos just before the heavy rain came and legged it for the bus we got of the bus at mutly plain and walked down to the train station to get some photos of the coaches I then nosiest our school bus driver john driving a coach so we went and talked to him for a while when I looked at my phone I realised that sadly we were out of time so I went back home overall a great day out

A MAN has been killed and 16 people have been taken to hospital, two by air ambulance, after a crash which shut a major Devon road this morning.
A Mercedes van driver was pronounced dead at the scene following a collision with a double decker bus on the A379 near Dream Machine Motorcycles, Modbury at 11.30am.

Eight people, some with serious injuries, were taken by a fleet of ambulances to Derriford Hospital. Another eight people who were not badly hurt were taken to Kingsbridge Hospital for check-ups by another bus.
The police helicopter, Devon Air Ambulance and four road ambulances ferried casualties to Derriford and Kingsbridge hospitals.
Four fire crews worked to remove the casualties from the bus, wedged between the van and a steep tree-lined bank.

Police said that the First double decker bus was heading towards Modbury when it collided with the Mercedes van belonging to an electrical parts company which was heading towards Kingsbridge at 11.30am. The accident happened on a narrow stretch of road surrounded by steep banks.
The front of the van belonging to Edmundson Electrical was badly crumpled against the front passenger side of the double decker bus completely blocking both lanes of the road. Edmundson Electrical have declined to comment.
