Bus breakdown experiences

[2206]

4252 has broken down at Stechford Station on the 11A this afternoon.
- The interior filled with the smell of diesel, and sounded strange like it was going to break down from the Yew Tree.
- At Stechford Station smoke started to come out of the engine compartment and the driver opened the engine compartment up.

4284 is out on the 952 cutting out every time the handbrake is applied.

Possible retro-fit of stop/start technology?  ;)

There is a bit of exaggeration/Bullshit here. The vehicle is still out in service which it wouldn't be if that was happening. It has not got one single restart recorded except at termini.

4262 broken down outside Kingstanding Shopping Centre. Either 807 or 817 has replaced it.

1873 went out of service at Scott Arms because the doors were playing up.

4778 was broken down at 7:05 on Kingstanding Road at the Dyas/Hawthorn Road junction. Looked like it was running dead to Pheasey or Sutton. Parked up right at the traffic lights in the second lane with hazards on and driver on phone. Not sure if it's still there or not.
