No surprise there, i have been overheating all day  :) :)

Seriously, i am surprised that we have not heard of more overheated buses, i know a couple of years ago, the Mercs suffered quite badly.

Another AG scania, think 1943, broke down at the Station about three hours ago, along with my 4041 this morning.

Driver was saying to the other passengers that another 997 had broken down, the one behind 4773 I assume, overheating also.
So ended up on 4530 to complete my journey, after some 45 minutes of waiting...

Also, 4854 seemed to have a problem in Erdington this evening, as it was at the SWE stop heading towards Sutton with hazards on, with 904E Erdington displayed and no passengers onboard. The driver was out the cab, he took over the bus about 20 minutes before I did.

The same driver than returned 4828 to garage, so that must have been his change bus

[BU07 LGO]

4733 packed up on kingstanding road in front of me. We was running together from town then it looked like it lost all power and had loads of black soot coming out then he pulled over

[Stu]

There was a Diamond Plaxton Primo which appeared to have given up the ghost earlier, parked up with the rear bonnet open, in Acocks Green village outside the Inn On The Green (the pint shop  8)).

4257 broke down again today, this time at the stop on Corporation Street, after Old Square. Either on a 65/7 or 907

4262 also seems to have broken down in Sutton on a 6. At the lights on South Parade with its bonnet up and hazards

4892 broke down on the rail station bridge whilst on the 12. Managed to be fixed as it was still on the 12 after, was just a coolant leak.
