Picture 18 here is a good likeness:

Trees are just coming into leaf at the moment, and it's possible a
branch was weighed down sufficiently to become a hazard. Two
medium-sized branches seem to have been broken off.

It's notable that the damage to the bus looks worse at destination blind
level or just above than at the corner of the roof. Did you manage to see
the tree itself, which hasn't featured in any of the photos I've seen? If
so, did it appear to be overhanging the carriageway, especially where the
branches were torn off?

You can see the tree clearly in picture 13, as well as the picture 18 I
mentioned before. There are many similar trees at intervals all along
the street. Several of the pictures, like number 11, show how trees
dominate the skyline along there.
