Ha,ha. Made my day

[PM]

Haha :P Ironically only the other day I was saying how that area can be pretty tight for cars...

iGo aren't so much involved in a bus war on Centro tenders with other operators but a civil war on themselves...


On another subject, what happened to the high spec solo sr's being allocated? They're putting vehicles of no higher quality than diamond provided... Shame on them, they got that route on a high spec contract as well!!!!!!

The 226 is on the board as the 19 so we get the SR solos on it (as well as the odd 39 branded e200)

But the 19 doesn't consistently see the SR's-some days there are 2 ordinary solos on there which aren't high spec vehicles...

Igo and have wars with my sibling buses.

"Igo Solo driving on the 19" - Driver of Solo SR at start of day.

Wouldn't call Optare Solo SRs high spec either with their reliability  :D

Personally I think all of these recent fires have been due to the current heat spell we're having!

No, if that was the case there would be no buses left in hot countries! Obviously the buses haven't been prepared properly for the hot weather!

That's total bollocks. They leave the garage every morning with a full tank of Coolant, if a hydraulic pipe burst and the fluid hit directly onto the engine/gearbox block, then you'd expect fires. Just as likely to happen in the coolness of November then in the heat of June.

So tell me, how do you "prepare" a bus for hot weather? Drive with the engine door open? Hmm....

Obviously you put a parasol on the roof and fill it up with pimms

2131 parked up on Lode Lane; looks as if a car tried overtaking as the bus pulled away from the bus stop and ended up in the side of it! Not a lot of damage though

[Matt.N0056]

4896 on Coventry Rd, sheldon Tesco with a smashed windscreen. Looks as if ambulance and maybe police in attendance.

Ouch. Sounds like it hit a pedestrian. Any further information?

I swear the 900 buses are cursed

Nope, sorry. Was just passing on the 957, ambulance was just pulling away.
The windscreen was only smashed on the drivers side, bottom corner
