Buses get into a tight spot in Chelmsley Wood

TWO buses turning up at once isn't unheard of, but they don't normally get stuck together...
But that's what happened in Chelmsley Wood on Friday evening, when double-deckers travelling in opposite directions attempted to pass one another in Helmswood Drive.
Unfortunately the pair of No 97s didn't have the space to squeeze past one another and ended up stranded in the street.
Mandi-Jayne Caddick, who witnessed the incident while walking home, told the Birmingham Mail:
"They were jammed up the kerb and it had tipped the bus on to the other by a couple of feet."
A National Express spokesman said: "The width of the road had been significantly reduced due to parked vehicles.
"As the buses couldn't safely pass one another, the drivers had to manoeuvre the buses so they could do so."
