No passengers on board and thankfully it appears that there's no serious injuries to driver or others. Assume the bus is a write off but that damage to the railway bridge is likely to be minimal?

Luckily this bridge is fitted with protective beams on both sides to protect the bridge structure itself from damage in such an event! 

I drive under this bridge on a regular basis and it's tight enough in a car so I can't see how it was so badly judged!
