Bus breakdown experiences

4685 broken down A34 city bound by the Alex at 6pm tonight.

[Tony]

NX 4936 currently parked with hazards flashing on Cuckoo bridge, about 20 yards from the Lichfield Rd lights

On its way back to garage, completed its duty on the 38 route nearly an hour late due to traffic, bit unlucky on that driver if it did break down that close to garage

[Stu]

Too far away to ID exactly, but from my window I can see there's been an Omnilink parked up at the 37 stop in Acocks Green village with its hazards on for at least an hour-and-half now. Buses towards Birmingham are having to use the 36/40 stop, as the 37 stop is blocked as a result.

4763 has expired on Bull St, people climbing underneath the engine and it was being topped up with (I think) coolant about 15 mins ago

Also, Diamond Centro 30804 was dead on the Priory Queensway about 1pm. Engineering van in attendance.

4486 had a problem on the 7 his afternoon, an Engineer attended to it at Perry Common. Meant it was 30 minutes late for me to take over on the 7

Then I was pulled off the 7 to run the 907A from College High to City, so I don't know if a 907 broke down or was deffective. We seem to still be short of buses, I guess due to some of the Artics been off the road

Just saw NX4737 parked up on Northgate facing towards Aldridge (just after Walton Road junction) displaying 159C with Hazards flashing and what I guess was an engineers van in attendance

[Trident 4609]

4575 was towed by a Mansfield Truck from Dudley Bus Station this morning

[Trident 4609]

4540 failed this morning on Wednesfield Rd by Wolverhampton Train Station. Engineer brought 4577 out as a replacement

[Alex]

4552 broken down on the Bham New Road with a Mansfield lorry in attendance, near Coseley @1330

[Cheese]

4595 parked on the New Birmingham Road just after City Road with the engine cover up going nowhere.

[Ronnoc]

Wow, an unusual series of WN Trident breakdowns.

[Trident 4609]

And 4575 failed at W'ton Bus Station for the second time in two days!

Wow, an unusual series of WN Trident breakdowns.

Indeed. Are you watching Bob?

[lauren1993]

Tridents really are the most unreliable buses ever made.

Look at it from a scale perspective. ..one wolves bus failing would be the equivalent of probably something like four cannock buses breaking down in a day......
