Bus breakdown experiences

431 is sat at the bus stand in Northfield on the 10S and isn't starting.

Just got off that one in Northfield!! It died on Harborne Lane on the way, took a few attempts from the driver to get it going again

At least it managed to get to northfield today! Probably the first time this week it's actually gone there

It didn't actually break down. Just better safe than sorry. I drove it to Coventry and back to Wolverhampton without any repairs  just an oil top up and clean at Coventry.

And there was no luck involved in 6949. The historic society trips try to cover all eventualities including the following empty bus

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up and glad to hear it wasn't anything major.
