Bus breakdown experiences

[MW]

It was predominantly ALX's yesterday, 4503 was actually in a minority.

I seen a few Geminis on the 1 yesterday (I think it was yesterday). That's probably why the ALX's were in Chelmsley Wood

4654; 4503; 4638; 4641; 4653; 4639; 4532; 4644; 4525; 4526 were all on the 72 yesterday

I don't know what the PVR is now but I saw at least 5 ALX's on there.

4438 driven by engineer NIS

Obviously not broken down if it's beig driven.

5504 failed just as it entered the rounabout at Five Ways (22/23 going Citybound)

Was in service heading through Harborne towards town on 22/23 at around 6pm so can't have been serious.

It completed all its mileage on running board 22-17 from 07:47 until 17:31

Some of these guys think that just because a bus has hazards on, it's broken down.

Could be waiting time or could have been adjusted and waiting time if it's empty...

And likewise a bus being driven by an engineer could be on its way to replace another bus.

Yep. Adjusting timing in the middle of the Island.

It was in service, with people on board. I'm not too sure what happened after the 24 (that I was on) overtook it; but the driver had restarted the bus, that's all I saw.

In that case running dead back to garage at the time I saw it.
