Re: Incident on M6 Toll - Any ideas?"[The passengers] were taken to the northbound carriageway where they were made to sit on the road, apart from one another, while surrounded by officers."
Isn't Megabus the one where you book a place on the bus? o.o So most of these people will have nothing to do with it and no clue what is going on... unless I'm mistaken. Poor them. -

Re: Incident on M6 Toll - Any ideas?Dammit man, this is serious. What if some of that coffee splased onto someones lips? They may not be able to sleep for an extra 30 minutes or so!(Original post by Good bloke)
Yes, the owner of the coffee, or someone sitting next to him, could have suffered minor scalds if he had poured it just as the bus went over a bump. -

Re: Incident on M6 Toll - Any ideas?T'was a good shout.(Original post by Good bloke)
Well, it wasn't coffee (as I speculated) but was something equally innocuous - "a health improvement aid for smokers".
Reassuring to see that they are prepared though. -
