This was the Union St, the main shopping street in Torquay this morning. A small gas leak in one of the shops and the road was closed. Amongst the fire engines and gas board truck sits the Land Train. A case of being in the right place at the right time.
Here crowds of people wait for the all clear so they can get about their shopping.
And a number 12 caught up in the traffic mayhem that always accompanies such incidents. The whole thing started at 10:30 and the road was opened just after 12.

Just after I had finished this post I read on the BBC web page that there had been two gas explosions in Manchester and some one had been hurt. Looks like we were lucky here in Torquay.
Well I certainly missed all that. Thank goodness for meetings!
There was a photographer who over many years of pictures in bus mags always endeavoured to have a young lady in the foreground of his pictures and did I believe have a book published with such works of art. The young lady with the magnificent hair in this foreground would have been a worthy addition to his portfolio
A little excitement Dave. At least it wasn't a bank robbery or a major accident. - Dave
