A quick thinking bus driver was forced to steer their vehicle off the road on Sunday after a "technical malfunction" affected its ability to run.
The driver at the wheel of the 240 service between Glasgow and Overtown, North Lanarkshire, had to take action as the bus travelled through Uddingston.
An image sent to our sister paper, the Daily Record, showed the single-decker parked on a grassy verge to the north of Laburnum Road at around 3pm on February 6.
First Bus, which operates the 240 under the Lanarkshire Connect banner, says no passengers were injured as a result of the driver's emergency manoeuvre.
However, services were disrupted as a result of the vehicle failure, for which the company has apologised.
A spokesman for the public transport firm said: "We are aware of the issue with a First Bus that took place on Laburnum Road, Uddingston.
"The driver took precautions after a malfunction, to remove the vehicle from the road.
"We can confirm that no passengers were injured.
"We would like to apologies for any disruption or any inconvenience caused by this."
