@945am this morning green bus 111
Had a major oil leak from the o/s/r
Of this bus
I was travelling on the no 10 KX08HMF(122)
And it slid on tgb111 oil trail
The driver of the WMSNT no10 alerted the driver
Of the green bus, that he had a major oil leak
After parking up in harborne outside Walter smith
Butchers after losing all his oil, he then carried on
For a further mile or two and parked up just after
Harborne hill school on the path
Defiantly not good for the engine on the bus
He also left the pool and trail of oil and DID NOT
Report it or attempt to do anything with it
  I think this as a professional driver is very bad
  And had no care for other road users
He shouldn't be on the road!!!

How do you know he didn't report it?

Who are you to say he shouldn't be on the road?

Perhaps he thought he was better off stopping it away from the busy High St?

But surely the rule is, if you have an oil leak, you don't move the vehicle. Who has paid for the roads to be cleared of the oil.

Now TGB have a massive repair bill for the bus.

The bus was in a safe convenient place
And he possible made the engine worse
By driving further then needed
And been a professional driver should no
Better

They're out on private hires every day. You could see them anywhere. Alternatively it could have been heading from a PH drop off to a school.

Yes i am aware they are used on PH every day :) Was just odd to see one over this way. Cheers for the added info though :)

@the trainbasher it was the 10:45 ex Halesowen to Merry Hill, so would be 11:24, 13:54, 16:24, 18:54 22E from Merry Hill. Don't get too excited, it's an absolute shed!
