Swan lands on bus roof

A swan decided to land on the roof of a bus in Reading, Berkshire, forcing the vehicle out of service.

Commuters required alternative transport after the bird came to rest on top of a Reading Buses single-decker in West Street.

The bus company decided not to move its vehicle until experts from rescue charity Swan Lifeline arrived.

Jake Osman, marketing manager at Reading Buses, said a swan had never landed on one of the firm’s vehicles before.
