Seeing, according to Tony on other threads, 4450 has both broken down & not tracking, plus its due for withdrawal soon anyway, I guess getting that back into service is not a priority?

[Tony]

It is on the 31/32 today

Driver who's took over on 2114 currently on the 9 service has only got as far as Morrisons in Walsall and broke down.

6720 is absolutely struggling on the 997 for power, never known it to be so slow, and yet it's expected to be on main City Centre service in limp. Apparently driver can't get it changed, nice...

Limp mode it happens regularly with platuims especially in heat

They are awful in the heat, to ride with burning leather and them being grey and dark means they are producing more heat, and the lack of power 68 plates ones and newer is even worse.

66 plates are the best ones.

The wb ones do I've been on them they go into limp mode a lot 

[GoldenSquid]

The 15/65 plates go limp the most from my experience. 68+ don't have many issues from what I've noticed.

platinums just utter shite  end of, set them all on fire init bruv, mind they probably self combust in years to come

[MW]

A common cause for Limp Mode is DPFs getting clogged up with soot and being unable to "regen." . I doubt it's specific to 66 or 68 reg etc.

I'm pretty sure if a bus went into LIMP mode, then it would have to be taken out of service. It is after all an engine management feature that is designed to prevent serious engine damage, and for getting the vehicle somewhere to be serviced or looked at.

Buses being driven slowly because the driver doesn't want to arrive at a timing point early are not in LIMP mode.

Correct Stu, no driver would drive a bus in service in limp mode anyway, top speed is around 8mph
