Bus breakdown experiences

866 and UID e200 were being delayed on the Queensway Pedmore on the 276 whilst 2100 was hooked up to a tow truck. A car virtually opposite the front of the tow truck was delaying the services.

4458 started making a loud bleeping noise from the cab whilst on the 97 about half an hour ago before driver then told passengers to transfer to the bus behind! Sounded like the bus was stuck in neutral as he was revving it but wasn't moving at all.

Diamond Centro 30000 broke down on Lower Bull Street earlier at the lights by the tram line. Wouldn't go into gear.

4482 currently parked up with hazards on in ward end on the 94 just after a bus stop, presumably broken down.

No because it was driven off, I suspect more an incident than a breakdown within a minute of you posting that

[MW]

I parked with the hazard lights on plenty of times and the bus hadn't broken down.

Most of time, at a timing point which was at a stop that multiple services use, so if anything does pull up behind, the driver would be aware that I may not be moving and so he/she leaves enough space. On the MMCs also, if I'm using the radio, as you can't talk and drive on them.

[lauren1993]

Yeah but that isn't a timing point so I assumed it was either broken down or involved in some kind of incident because there was no driver or passengers on board either and all of the lights were switched off.
