Bus breakdown experiences

[Liberator9]

Truth be told @Liberator9 it's the first time I've ever seen an Omnilink broke down (if you don't count door problems!)

@trident4370

I've only ever seen the one breakdown - they are reliable buses usually although that would be expected considering they are still only around 4 years old.

Just seen 1413 getting towed back to YW, goodbye another B10L?

[Sayeed]

30303 Broke down (Hazard Lights on) on the Redditch Rd and lost a handful of passengers to the 45

A B6 broken down on WN28 at W'ton Bus Station this afternoon

One of Central's 46** Tridents (recent NX Livery) was been towed up Chester Road this afternoon. Saw it passing over the train line by the M6 junction

Probably came from Chelmsley Wood on the Collector Road

A B6 broken down on WN28 at W'ton Bus Station this afternoon

And was still parked up unattended at Stand G at 19:30

4547 looks like it has broken down. It was parked by Stand L in Wolverhampton Bus Station with hazard lights flashing and the engine boot was open. Seen at 18:55.

The YW Tridents seem to be causing trouble over the last month - 4385 broken down at around 7:15 this morning at the island intersecting Robin Hood Lane and Highfield Road. That's now three over the last two weeks that have broken down on the 76.... Time for some new Enviros!

14** on the 39 had it's exaust pipe bounced off the road while on tow back to the garage around 30mins ago in tower street wolverhampton

Sad thing to read. Would like to know which B10L this was if anyone else knows?

Been out looking for WA B10Ls and did a process of elimination. Looks like 1421 was the victim.

1421 is currently at Walsall Bus Station about to depart on the 69


4020 was parked up at Wolverhampton Bus Station with suspension problems about noon

4002 looks as if it was broken down on Pipers Row at 17:20 and 4563 was being seen to by an engineer further down Pipers Row

Also 4011 was taken off the 59 due to overheating this afternoon

Popped to PN today, just as i was leaving a Mansfield truck with 4349 in tow arrived.

Mansfield are busy...one of their trucks in merry hill

Think National Express should invest in there own breakdown trucks, would save them a fortune,

[lauren1993]

Has there ever been an occasion when the Mansfield truck has also broke down whilst towing a bus?  :P

If there has, would love to have seen that!
