Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

I know it is a bit late but 1871 had a problem with the gearbox on Thursday whilst on the 952.
Had to be driven back to the garage.

1758 on the 301 is an early casultiy this morning as it broke down(with ?) at Proffit Street junction.

Passengers transferred to 1762 on the 29.

Certainly wasn't broken down. It has completed all it's journeys this morning and is still out in service. Presume there must have been another problem (Passenger?)

Didnr see a passenger problem.

Hazards must have been on for a reason.
