I work for a carriage builders in Leicester, the other day we had the double decker bus from the walkers
crisp advert come in to our factory, I thought the drive under the bridge was a CGI effect but it wasn't,
The bus did have the top deck section ripped off. A shame really as the buses overall condition is
very good and it was driven to us..
We have got to strip off the remaining window pillars and cap off,fit some railing and they want some canopies
fitting aswell. not sure whether it will be a tour bus or a hospitality / show bus.
i'll try and get a few pics tomorrow..

I wondered if it was CGI as well, the things they do to get us to buy there rubish eh!

Ouch, that's a bit of a mess I wondered if it was an effect too. At least it can be repaired though!

havent seen the advert lol just looked it up on youtube, looks like the roof was cut before it was crashed into the bridge at 1:00 on the vid? All the pillars have come off before it gets to them.

Thats didnt work Linky

probably has been cut first as there is no damage to the front of the bus, but the back has been mishapen
by the impact. still a fair bit of work to do to rectify it....

Dunno why the retards want it making into a hospitality bus, they've got two sitting in the car park of their coventry factory as it is!

We work in all the walkers factories - Leicester, Cov, Skelmersdale, Peterlee and Lincoln. The scale of it is incredible - the leicester factory has 2 fryers that process 50 tons of raw spuds an hour, and another 5 slightly smaller lines. Then theres the doritos, wotsits, sunbites ( ), baked's, sensations, squares and a couple of other ones.
And then when you think theres also all the supermarket own brand stuff, kettle chips and golden wonder - This country LIVES on crisps!

[camp freddy]

apparently they have taken the part off the advert where they go
under the bridge due to complaints from viewers !!!!!
even more of a waste of a perfectly good vintage bus

[RobJaxon]

Who complains about that?
Pathetic

[oli8925]

yeah they did. and i think they started only showing after the watershed aswell or something. well thats what i heard anyway. it upsets children because the top deck has people in when it falls off
