Bus breakdown experiences

[Ally]

Currently sat on Stagecoach's 47075 which is taking slight gradients in no more than first gear, think the turbo has blown! It got on to the steep Boot Hill in Grendon, then there was a large hissing bang and a huge drop in power. Late enough as it is... No dash alarms though which is odd!

When I was just a little nipper I was on the WN559 (in my pushchair with my mom sat opposite to me) going round the loop when a car pulled out of Clare Ave in front of the bus, KABOOM! My mom was thrown forward out of her seat into my pushchair, I was unconscious and I don't know anymore about it because I was a baby and this happened about ten years ago. Anyone heard about this incident if so please PM me with details...

Why would anybody be aware of something that happened ten years ago. Cars pull out on buses all the time. Happened to me on same route and location a few months back.

@Alex, 4576 is now on the 32 so managed to get running again.

Were you driving when you saw the centro, as I was on value branded bus and passed it about that time? It is now back in service I believe

There's currently a Diamond solo blocking Old Square in Brum, would love to see the chaos later in the busier part of rush hour hour when they try to hook it up to a recovery truck
