Bus breakdown experiences

[Wumpty]

Not sure if you consider this as a breakdown but
1839 had a coolant leak on the 29 and went back to the garage as 1840 replaced it

Most certainly is - anything that impedes the bus from maintaining service through mechanical or technical failure is deemed a breakdown.

It was either 2215/6 or 2218, all the passengers were transferred onto 6143 with the driver out on the phone and the engine off... and it was at the time I posted at the bus stop outside Levines...

Passed 1801 being hooked up to a recovery truck earlier this evening on Yardley Wood Road just before the Wake Green Road junction, causing a bit of congestion as it was blocking the left-turn lane.

Looks like it had been there for sometime, seems to have 'conked out' while doing a journey on the 1 earlier in the afternoon according to BusTimes:

Was not broken down

[Wumpty]

Was not broken down

Was it waiting time or a system glitch?

I mean it was blocking the road with Hazards on and I don't recall seeing any driver, so maybe it was something else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
