Only two change buses out of 130 vehicles is actually quite a good day for any company, yes I have checked, those are the only two at YW all day, and it was 6132 that was taken off, not 6142, and it wasn't a breakdown, it was changed without losing any mileage with 6129 replacing it

6730 broke down earlier at Perry Barr after the Door Interlock failed preventing the doors from closing. It was towed away in the end. Also apparently the engineer sent out to look at 6730 also broke down so another engineer had to go out to help him!

I wondered why the first 59 (WN) never turned up (Was due at 05:08)..... It is parked in the bus stop/layby area on the A4124 Lichfield Rd (Just before the junction of Peacock Ave) broken down. It didn't even make it into service! The bonnet is up and there is a Van and two engineers in attendence.

4771 had problems with the air pressure this evening whilst on the 11 to Coventry, managed to sort it self out eventually so carried on in service on the 11, 20 mins or so late, no engineer was required in the end.

4136 failed on Fryer St/Broad St Traffic lights in Wolverhampton. Was supposed to be on the 59. Buses using Lichfield St, Princess Square and Broad St as the bus has broken down at an awkward angle meaning buses can't get past.

Saw one bus get past OK. Interestingly later around 6,35pm it has being hooked up to an R's recovery truck. Thought nx only used Mansfield

Bad day for AG or the 45xx Geminis. Both 4510 & 4526 broke/n down in Handsworth & Dudley Road (the furthest away from AG funnily enough!). Both overheating with 4510 emitting smoke from engine compartment, black smoke from exhaust pipe, temperature reading of 120 degrees and the stink of burning. Luckily stopped and taken off service when it did!

Wow, the passengers must've been cooking in there!

Pretty much every WN B6 I go on breaks down... Wonder why?
