An unidentified PB ALX400 broke down on the 907 yesterday, spotted it about 20:15 and about 15mins later when I drove back past in the other direction

Trident 4194

4635 broken earlier looked like oil leak

A Trident has broken down in the middle of Moor Street Queensway on the outside lane on the 24. It's stood opposite the 37 stop just before the turning for Carrs Lane.

Not even started and I've broken down already. 4851 leaking coolant at Wellhead Lane, so I'm not going anywhere!

PB 7030 cut out twice on the 66 this morning, will be surprised to see it last the day

Its the new stop start system on the omnilinks, it's just the driver's know how to override it ;)

6752 was broken down right on Lancaster Circus island this morning, fortunately it was tucked far enough over to the side of the road not to be causing any problems.

NX 4864 bost on the Walsall Road just after Perry Avenue lights doing a city bound X51
I'm assuming this was the usual 51 board, my bus was two after and there were still passengers waiting to transfer at 07:20, 6758 in between must have taken as many as legally possible because it was full and standing right in front of us when we got to town
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....
