Not a bus breakdown...but a passenger breakdown.

Elderly lady passenger taken ill on the 71 just leaving Sutton after only just pulling off the stand.  Driver handled the situation very well and said lady was escorted off the bus to the paramedic's car.  Delayed by 20 minutes or so understandably...shame some of the other passengers were not as understanding.

Exactly, passengers these days seem only interested in themselves. If someone collapses, it is just an inconvenience for them,
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
