IT was the one that nearly got away – the early bus to Chatteris that tried to leave too early!

The picture was taken by a March resident when she heard a loud thud coming from nearby.

“I was awake at the time but I’m sure it would have woke me as it right opposite my bedroom window,” she told friends on a March Facebook page.

Another resident said that when he left for work at 7am “they were still trying to figure out how to get it out without causing much more damage “.

Last word perhaps should go to the wag who added: “Should’ve gone to Specsavers!”

A spokesman for Stagecoach said: “We are investigating an incident that occurred at our March outstation depot on Wednesday in which one of the vehicles in the depot appears to have rolled forwards while in the garage.

“This happened at very low speed and caused no injuries.

“Safety is our absolute priority and we are investigating this matter.”
