Bus breakdown experiences

[RS]

826 broke in Dudley

[Michael Bevan]

It was still there around 11.30am, with 4289 parked behind blocking the left hand lane

Yeah I saw them both running Dead back to PB around 12:00.

Edit: Now out on the Sutton's again. Did a 904 to Birmingham starting in Sutton after doing a school and now doing a round trip on the 902.

Don't start any silliness on here like you did on the class 47 group!

Do you know the reliability statistics of the 200MMCs/ Thought not

Don't get me going on that group..  ;) :P

Just seen quite a lot of them broken down myself, and from what I have seen, they aren't as reliable as other modern day single deckers (IE Solos, Citaros etc)

Not sure if it was actually broken down or not, but 6705 was parked up Not In Service with hazards on by Bordesley station just before 6pm.

Just waiting time after being adjusted for late running

Thanks for the clarification, I do feel a lot of people assume a bus is broken down just because it is parked up somewhere with hazards on.

However, it was a little annoying that the next 900/957 showing on the app wasn't due for another 17 minutes! The 59 that was showing as due sailed straight past as it was rammed full!

Yesterday there was a 446* crimson 97 branded trident with its engine flap up near chelmsley wood.
I then seen 4071 broken down at the nec, presumably was on the 966.
