Bc aren't having much luck today!
4896. 4948 and 4618 have all been seen broken down in the last hour!
Also one of travel de courceys tridents was having some sort of problem earlier.

I'll give you 4618 at the Airport on the 97, and 4896 on the Coventry Road, but not 4948 which has been on the 22 all day and still is

Yeah that's exactly where it is.

About two hours. Apparently they had to wait for a vehicle to become spare. Find it hard to believe but yeah. I think there was another President broken down on the Circle too.

More the passengers that were peed off lol, next bus came in 25 mins full to the brim, one after came 30 mins full to the brim! Third bus was an E about 3/4 full lol.

1657 looks to be broken down on Rosemary Road in Hasbury.

Lets hope it doesn't need anything major done to it, otherwise could be R.I.P

4139 was towed out of Wolverhampton Bus Station about 12:45 today

9959 didn't exactly break down but did have to be promptly returned to Miller St due to a suspension issue!

Trident 4194 · June 16, 2015, 04:03:27 PM

Dart broken down on 142. Also 30828 had to have complete reset as keeps cutting out

5509 appears to have expired outside Harborne Academy.

My second breakdown in my couple of weeks on road today!

4663, alternator belt snapped, and thus no interior lights, all the monitors cut off including the one in the cab. Weirdly the offside interior lights were still working!

I got to drive the Transit back to garage, which was nice. Very quick for a van, or it seemed it, might be because I just jumped out of 4663 lol.
