Sydney,New South Wales,Australia -The Sydney Morning Herald, by Arjun Ramachandran & Dylan Welch -March 18, 2008: -- With minutes to spare before a train arrived, a runaway bus rolled 150 metres downhill and crashed through a fence onto train tracks near Epping station this morning, closing a large section of the Northern Sydney train line... A short time after 7am, the 12-tonne No.289 State Transit Authority bus careered through a fence onto a railway line at Langston Place, Epping, a police spokesman said... There were no passengers on the bus at the time, and the driver was uninjured, he said... A State Transit Authority spokeswoman said the bus driver, from the Willoughby depot, had parked her bus at Epping station and briefly left it to go to a newsagent...
