Coach crash

An overnight coach service has crashed on a sliproad between the M4 and M25 motorways near Heathrow Airport, west of London. Two people were killed, several were injured. Several people have lost limbs. 38 were treated in hospital, three of whom are in still there in a condition that gives rise to concern. The 592 service, which left London's Victoria Coach Station at 22.30 last night, was due to travel to Aberdeen, via Heathrow Airport, Carlisle, Hamilton, Glasgow and Dundee. It was due to arrive in Aberdeen at 10.30 this morning.
The majority of passengers were bound for Glasgow, and were thought to be returning from holiday. The driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

     How terrible.  Now for a question. Is a coach the same as a train or is it a bus?

    The accident happened not 5 miles from where I live. We see those coaches driving much too fast along that stretch of road, which is dangerous at the best of times. I do hope the injured passengers make a full recovery from their injuries.
