    Strange one as the buses don't seem to turn at that junction and it's pretty open view as well.

    Odd indeed. Going north I tend to hang back from the ASL, though. Too many non-signalling left-turners for my liking (not that that's what's likely in this circumstance.)

    Hope the rider is ok.

    Hope the rider's OK, I've always lived in fear of being hit by a bus :shock:

  • I walked past whilst the paramedics were in attendance. Didn't look good, neck brace being attached and person looked unconscious (but didn't want to stop and gawp so not sure).

    Was around 10 metres down the southern part of Moorgate and near side of the front window of the bus was smashed. Didn't actually see a bike and thought it looked as if a pedestrian had stepped off the pavement and was hit by the bus as it went across the lights.

    Whatever happened, hope the injured party is OK.
