Bus breakdown experiences

[Kevin]

NX 5516 was just towed past me at Star City heading into Gravelly Industrial Estate.... ??????!!!!!
Some sort of garage there that deals with hybrids perhaps?

A Gemini broke down on Lancaster Circus around 7.30am this morning, blocking the left lane coming from the Uni stop. It was on the 67

Yesterday when I passed Royal Mail Newtown around 18.00 a Pb omnilink on 52 city bound had been hit in the offside by a white van,it was still there at 21.45 with a recovery vehicle in attendance in the process of being jacked up in order to tow it back to Pb. Said recovery vehicle was then seen leaving wellhead lane @ 22.55 so quite a long process.

I saw it this morning without its rear offside panels, looked like the crossmembers underneath has been bent

I boarded 1789 in Small Heath, when I sat down, the driver told everyone the bus has broken down !

I saw a 35 branded E400 being towed by Mansfield at around 21:10 this evening.

Well I've broken down already. 4237 at Perry Common. Its either the gears or the door interlock preventing me from pulling away

4814 has expired at the Bristol Rd / Belgrave Middleway stop, on a KEHS working.

A relay went back in the panel behind the drivers seat. 1 hour 10 minutes I missed, one trip

5501 failed on Colmore Row on 22 at 17.20, 30 seconds after I got on and relief driver had taken over. Moved ok, don't know what the issue was. Caught 4949 instead, the most painfully slow bus journey I've ever had to endure.

Overtaken (and never to be seen again) by 5507 (23), 4948 (23) and 4947 (NIS, presumably a replacement for 5501).

Oh and there goes 4877 (24) flying past us too. I could have walked home quicker...
