Does anyone remember a accident, on Pershore Rd outside gkn it made the papers and I remember it being on the radio. I think it might have been a Saturday morning, I was young in bed and there was a loud thud, ran into mom and dads room and a bus was on its side and it was quite a mess, had hit some other cars too, i think the bus had gone into the door at the factory. I remember some of the injured being taken into Jims Cafe. Sometimes I think I dreamt it, no one seems to remember it.

      Don't actually remember the incident but one thing you could do is to go to the Central Library 6th floor and on  microfilm are copies of the Evening Mail and you can then find out if this incident was real or a figment of your imagination.I am sure from the details in your post that there is someone in the area that remembers the incident.     JP

Thanks Jon. I don't really have the time to go into town at the moment and do that. Have been looking online but found nothing.

Just a thought, maybe the Transport Museum out by Becketts may know something.
