7258-N183OYH_Eldon Square - a photo on Flickriver

            Probably the only time you'll ever see bus station supervisors doing any real work! A real comedy here, 7258 (N183OYH) had conked out in the middle of the station and they were attempting to push (yes push!) the bus up into the layover bays. Amazingly, the driver kept getting out to help push rather than apply the brakes when it was pushed up, so inevitably it would roll back down and almost flatten the guys pushing it. Meanwhile, bus traffic was blocked off for almost an hour which caused major delays, until a tow truck eventually arrived. 
Not the best of photos, certainly not to my usual standard but a real hoot nonetheless!
