I've been told 4015 overheated again today

Yes it got a bit hot in the sun parked in the sun at the back of Park Lane. Didn't come out today.
Will you not post heresay and silly rumours just to find something to post please

Yes ok point taken!!! This was the on duty Engineer who told me this! Maybe he meant another Spectra?

I'm don't post stuff just so i can find something to post!!!

Diamond 20869 overheated on Moor Street junction of Addison Road in Brierley Hill. Managed to get it moving about 10 minutes later but there is a beeping sound in the cab. It's the bus down to do the 1550 ex merry hill...

4811 was stood at Quinton Stag, as i know it, with hazards on just after 14:00, on my way back about 30 minutes later it had gone, but was replaced by a BC E200, again with hazards on with driver stood on the pavement talking on his phone.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

It could have been, i was driving and so didn't catch the fleet number, assumed it was a BC example as i never have seen a 222 liveried one in Quinton?

You were in the bus station at the same time as me then.There was some black oily substance leaking out of the back by the looks of it.

It was back in service on the 126 though this afternoon.
