Oh dear! No-one badly hurt, hopefully?!

Has what's happened had any effect on rail services? Think the bridge bash is a shortish distance (a mile or so) from Kilmarnock station heading out towards Auchinleck and then Dumfries / Carlisle.

Apologies if there's already a thread for this operator but I can't find one on any search. I'm sure admin will merge if so! Four brand new Yutong E12s were on the road today on the 4 (Ayr - Glasgow) service today. They are 73053-6 (YK74PMV/X/Y and YK74PNE). Does anyone know how many are due...
