Next stop ...... 8)

Talking system back working on 829

Like said earlier the driver hadn't been type trained on the trident company policy you have to be type trained on every type of bus at your garage

4197 parked up in Stourbridge on the 9

I got a picture of 4197 on the 246 today. So both 4196 and 4197 have been taken off the 246 and put onto the 9 today  ???

Think in part, its something to do with driver knowledge of the Tridents, for some reason more 9 drivers seem to know them than 246 Drivers

there on the same rota 9 and246

X96 branded 1631 on the 297

was my bus for a breakdown

825 just been bought back

Something strange happened just now to 4825 on the 9 this evening.

It was already going at a high speed in a high gear on a downhill carriageway, then the bus kicked down a gear! It then seemed to get stuck at maximum revs in that gear, before seeming to go into neutral, with the driver revving the engine (whilst passing cars at around 45mph). It then went back down through the gears when slowing down for an island.

4825 has always been known as a fast bus and for its over-overrevving (yes 2 overs!) but this time it proved a little too powerful for its own good!

It is physically impossible for a bus to be doing 45mph in anything other than top gear. It is possible it dropped out/Was taken out of gear altogether, in which case if the driver still has his foot on the accelerator it would go to high revs. When the driver then braked he would be able to drop it back into gear while slowing down causing the normal drops down as it slowed

45mph in a lower gear ????

car 1 hit bus  car 2 hit car 1  bus was on the correct side of road 2 cars wasnt

note about ex 4816 is a bit straight to the point .
