text: This is the unfortunate moment a twelve tonne double decker bus broke down - and was pushed to safety by the driver and a group of helpful passengers. The massive bus broke down en route to the Stagecoach depot in Dover, Kent, so the unlucky driver was forced to ask passengers, colleagues and locals to give him a helping hand. Around seven proactive members of the public and bus company workers teamed up and managed to move the heavy bus - which weighs the same as two fully-grown African elephants. The 12-tonne double decker bus (pictured) broke down on its way to the Stagecoach depot in Dover, Kent - and the unlucky driver was forced to ask passengers, colleagues and locals to give him a helping hand . The group managed to succesfully roll the huge bus - which can carry up to 80 passengers - through the streets and on to the local depot. The moment was captured by Dover resident Stephen Davies last week. Mr Davies, 57, said: 'It broke down at the traffic lights but fortunately it was only around the corner from the bus depot so all the drivers came round to push it back. 'A few passengers got out to help too.' The group managed to roll the huge bus - which can carry up to 80 passengers - through the streets of Dover .
