596 has broken down it's stuck in the middle of Wolverhampton bus station on the 32

That didn't take long.
Expecting WN to be short over the summer with Trident refurb and B6LE overheating.

Do WN not introduce the summer timetables with reduced Pvrs?

4023 broken down at Wood End Lane Erdington on 11A yesterday lunchtime.  I haven't bothered to post all of these for the last few weeks as there have been so many but I am now going to post every time I see as some people seem to think the Presidents are doing a great job on the Outer Circle.
