What is missing are clearance lines; especially on curves.

Actually you're right - loading the page on my phone wouldn't allow
enlarging a blurry image, but I can on desktop.
It looks as if bus driver has cut the corner well after the give way
sign and as you say has been collected by the swinging tram: note tree
branch and sign behind fence in attached Google street view to assist
in locating incident.

More importantly Google Street view captures ex-Invercargill Birney
#15 in the background.

(planning on a bit of tram watching with a refreshing ale at the OGB
bar just off-screen to right - if trans-Tasman bubble is reinflated by
November).
