Sone of the Volvo's broke down too resulting in journeys missing on 74/828, which left a 1hr gap in service.

181 gave up today on 63

A bit like Midland Red West's Leyland National 745 (XOV745T) which was frequently a failure back in the mid to late 80s and early 90s.  I think just about every company has one which fails regularly.

Chaserider have got several lol. 180/1/2 are awful. They also cant seem to stoo their Streetlites from breaking down either. 187 also spends more time off road than on 

Looks lime the two Scanias B5/6 WER have been withdrawn too, theyre short on full sized buses. I cant believe Solos are regularly stuck on the 60

Chaserider having a typical day today, 3 buses incl 2 volvos broke down on 74/826/8 circuitleading to a 90 min gap in service btween 11.02 and 12.32 cannock to stafford journeys! Then one of the crappy MCVs ( never fhe most reliable heaps) broke on the 60, to be replaced with an even more rubbish SR solo,which broke down in Cannock. Engineering van got it going again, wouldnt have much faith in it lasting the day lol. I mean who knew that a 15 yr old Solo would be unreliable on interurban services 🤣

Can see 193 is being stripped

132 broke down yesterday to get sent back out only to break down again lol. 748 made an appearance after weeks away and has predictably broke down again first thing this morning lol

More breakdowns on 826/828 today reducing hourly services to two hourly, 187 ( dunno why they  even bothered bringing it back from the scrap pile its now non standard, only one if its type at Cannock and they dont seem to be able to keep ut on the road, despite it being gone for over a year to be "fixed") and one of the Daimler twin door streetlites they have equal trouble keeping running. It comes to something when you have to use an app to see if your hourly bus is actually operational let alone late 🤣
