Bus breakdown experiences

[lauren1993]

4223 currently broken down on the 11 in Earlsdon. Smoke was coming out of the engine.

Two broken down Bendibuses on Opposite sides of Priory Queensway this afternoon. Not helping to an already overcrowded busy bus stopping area.
6032 with its bonnet open and Mansfield truck in attendance at the bus 70/72 stop. At one time there were 5 Mansfield engineers all peering into the Engine. It was there for at least two hours.
6026 pulled into the 67 stop out of service and unloaded passengers. After around 20mins, one of the Mansfield guys went over, lifted the bonnet, did something and all was sorted within seconds. Bus then drove off.

It looked as if 6032 had been leaking something, as there were trails covered in sand on the road.

There was a diamond dart on the 16 this morning had hazards flashing on the corner of moor street by the 35 bus stop

6032 still not recovered. It's on a low loader now just getting strapped up.

[Mike K]

5516 expired on Harborne Hill this morning.

[Trident 4609]

4002 was parked on Wednesfield Rd with its hazards on this afternoon.

Wow! That was a long time. It was 2.30 this afternoon when I first saw it, and I don't know how long it was there before that. Are bendy length low loaders quite rare and hard to get?

Tonight I was on 4214 on the 11 when it suddenly died whilst moving! Driver managed to recover it, only for it to do the same again 2 minutes later.. Driver managed to eventually get it started again before it expired completely on dalton road! It was choking and not changing gear properly as if it was struggling to move for the whole journey before it even cut out the first time! Caused a lot of chaos as it cut out whilst we were turning the corner leaving us parked on a junction half turned!

NX coach FJ11 GKK was being hooked up to a Mansfield truck at 6:45 this morning just at the Beeches Rd lights, tower Hill (inbound), reducing the junction to one lane gonna be interesting later in the rush hour.

It didn't quite fit there was a bit of rear overhang. An escort van was there as well. Nice bit of overtime for the Mansfield lads lol
