    That bit of road is ridiculous. That bit of traffic island should have been left flat or flattened. Not the easiest to navigate a bus on its own, never mind one being towed!

    The recovery driver was an agency driver, Talstaff, so I'm guessing his first bus tow? As soon as he started towing from the front I could see it was too high. Crazy but Sparrow Recovery will foot the bill for the body work repairs.

      It won't have cost that much to do the bodywork repairs as most depots do them in house.

    That's what happens when you employ the chuckle Brothers or the Top Gear boys to tow a bus

    By no means am I a Heavy recovery expert however I know that the point of pick up was a support meant to be used as it was designed to be used as such in addition with it being air brakes it needs to be picked up from the rear for stearing purpose it looks as if it's being dragged due to the brakes being on and wheels not turning in the rear

      It is a very awkward corner with narrow sections and high kerbs. It would have been better to remove it from the bus station by going UP instead of down.

    Hazards still on, electrics still on, raised to a height that is unsuitable, no on tow board, what a bunch of amateurs

      Dont need an on tow board and hazards still on as its causing a hazard to other road users, and its common when towing buses out the vic bus station nowa days as the buses are so low to the ground

      As a former heavy recovery operative you need a light board on rear while on public roads. And isolate the power as if the original fault could be power related.

    Can see why it had to be lifted from the front and cause the back to ground? I’ve seen buses recovered without the need to be lifted. In fact I’ve been steering a coach that was towed and we weren’t lifted at the front.

    Would be funny if it had passengers. A bit bumpy at the back.

    Im not a "heavy recovery specialist" as the side of that Tow truck says but even I knew that what they did was well utterly stupid. Maybe they forgot to add the fail into it. It should be "Heavy Recovery Fail Specialists"

      thats not destroyed at all, its common when towing buses in and roads dips, as need the height clearance to get around corners with boom arms not getting stuck in the road

    • @ANDREWLEONARDSMITH
      @ANDREWLEONARDSMITH Рік тому +2

      Buses need to be lifted high so the front wheels do not touch the ground on speed bumps & other inclines because " Bounce skidding" occurs when the wheels touch the ground causing serious tyre damage. This is a known issue which can be solved by removing the front wheels so why is this not being done ?
