Many years ago one of our Leyland Nationals was hit on the rear offside top corner by a luton van whilst stopped at a bus stop. The damage appeared to be just on that corner, but after driving it into the garage I found that the drivers access door would not close properly. We did some measurements and found the off side top member had been pushed forward by 1 ½ inches. The vehicle was deemed a write off. This happened because of the shock wave passing along the integral structure. On any other bus or coach with a separate chassis and body, the damage would be confined to just the impact point and a day with some sheet metal and fibreglass would have it repaired. Peter
