Countryliner DE44 MX09 HJF
Countryliner's Enviro200 DE44 (MX09 HJF), seen in Guildford, when it was two months old (and carrying incorrect reg plate MX09 HFJ).
Now that the company have unfortunately gone into administration, I thought I ought to plug some gaps in my Countryliner photos on here. I've actually got a couple of pics on here of this bus making very rare appearances on the 73 and 462, but not one of it on its regular route - the 479! So here it is on that route.
It's impossible to not notice the predicament it's in. In brief, the BMW driver was too busy on her mobile phone to keep the box junction clear. After the bus got stuck, nothing moved for a while until the lady driving the BMW screamed at the bus driver. She tried to reverse but rolled further towards the bus. She then slammed it into reverse and backed into the front of the car behind *Facepalm*.
This did at least free the bus, which got some abuse from some people up the road, to which the driver replied by calling them "w*****s". Not a great showing from either side, but this is my only rear shot of the bus!
