There was a 14 reg Diamond Streetlite overheated/broken down on the A3400 between Stratford and Henley today parked in a lay-by with bonnet up. I'm not sure what route, if any, it would have been operating round there.

Diamond operate a Stratford - Hockley Heath schools service - 229S - so it could have been on that.

6883 seems to be stuck in first gear or something. Just went past California way with hazards on and quite a slow speed (compared to the speed limit).

6837 broken down at University Station outbound.

Not sure if you consider this as a breakdown but
1839 had a coolant leak on the 29 and went back to the garage as 1840 replaced it
