Today, workers from Oxford Direct Services were at the site taking down fencing that had been around the bus.

It is currently unclear when the bus is expected to be removed.

Speaking to the Oxford Mail, Robert Dyer, 55, said his family were left 'distraught and gutted' after the incident.

Mr Dyer had been home alone when the vehicle crashed into his home.

Nobody was injured during the accident.

The bus company has launched an investigation and has apologised for the inconvenience caused.

A spokesman for Oxford Bus Company said: “We have not been able to examine the vehicle so far as we are working with relevant parties on how to recover the vehicle safely from the site of the incident to our Cowley depot to allow this to happen.

"However, our preliminary investigation and knowledge of the vehicle type involved suggest at this early stage that the primary cause was not related to any mechanical defect, but we cannot confirm this fully until the vehicle has been recovered."
