Locky Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Mate of mine said someone got hit by a bus pretty badly outside Jenners n Princes Street at about 6 o'clock anyone know if theres any truth in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dizzle Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I was coming home from Newington and two girls behind me were talking about someone getting hurt outside there. I was just eavesdropping but they said some guy ran over the road from the Princes mall place and got twatted. Don't know much more, but the bus routes were running fine by 7ish so I guess it couldn't have been that bad if the streets were clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what exactly it was but something had definitely happened. The travel news on Radio Forth described it as 'a serious accident' on the corner of Princes Street and South St David Street.

Sooperstar Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I walked past about a yard away just as the 2nd ambulance arrived. There were 2 fire engines and some police too. Unbelievable how many sick people were standing staring trying to get a good look, had to barge my past whilst tutting loudly. I could only see the bottom of the legs as I walked past and it looked like a young persons legs. But now that I think about it I could see no hysterical parents around so I could be wrong. When I came back out around 15 minutes later they had put sheets up around the victim and medics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of this world patter mate. In answer to your question, yes. I was a bit pished after a christmas party. Never saw the black whole right infront of me and fell in(made a claim to National Accedent Helpline, but they were having none of it.) Long story short, I wake up in the Dunfermline park and ride with the imprint of a supernova when I closed my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo for Life Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Mate of mine said someone got hit by a bus pretty badly outside Jenners n Princes Street at about 6 o'clock anyone know if theres any truth in it. Definitely true. I was on my way home at this town from uptown, and a few ambulances and fire engines flew past the bus, stopped and the bus was emptied. Supposedly the guy tried to dodge the buses, got caught under the bus and they can remove him. Nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor.Arturo Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It was not a fatal one, if someone is killed the police close the whole road for several hours for investigations. Some people are just idiots!! Do they believe themselves to be invincible? an empty bus weighs 13-14 tons, a fully loaded bus can be close to 18 tons! and in a collision of wills the pedestrian will never win. It seems to me that some people think risking death to catch a bus is worthwhile, ffs people, there will be another one along in 5 or 10 minutes!

The Mighty Thor Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 So the moral of the story is that running out in front of a bus may be detrimental to your health? Well i never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It is quite sad to think that the tram line plan is for more people to be seriously injured and hurt when they are hit by the tram compared to the numbers injured by buses at the moment. And of course whenever the tram does kill people the line will be closed down for several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if Edinburgh corporation has anything to do with the trams they'll be much noisier than the Manchester ones. Especially the ones being towed by big noisy tow trucks back to the knackers yard. Anyone remember the Simpsons episode when Springfield got the new mono-rail. That's what I envisage with the new trams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
