Bus breakdown experiences

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

As mentioned in the Unusual Workings thread, after never having a bus breakdown before, 4015 expired on the 256, 632 sent to replace, made it a mile down Penn Road and then it expired!

Going to school on Green Buses daily, I have been on more breakdowns than I care to remember lol

4811 parked up in Halesowen today in the space where the 241 and 297 usually wait time. It wasn't on the 241 and obviously wasn't on the 297 (low bridge!), so I assume broken down, stayed there for some time

4573 broken down on the 59 route on the Wednesfield Road just outside of Wolvethampton city centre.

Was it the Enviro400H that replaced it?
I also saw it at about 16:15.

No 5412 was already on there today. I caught 5412 at 15:27 and and got to Wolverhampton at 16:48. Then caught it home from Wolverhampton at 16:50. Think its been on all day.

You caught it at 15:27 then got to Wolverhampton at 16:48? It took you 1 hour and 21 minutes?

Thinking about it now, I think it was on the board ahead of the one I was on, I saw something green turn when I was heading past the theatre towards the bus station. I just assumed it was a B5LH as usual.

YW's 4363 is currently parked up at the 3 stop in Acocks Green looking a little damaged.

Not sure how it has happened, but the nearside lower side panel behind the front wheel is looking a little buckled.  :o

As it's one of the vinyl-wrapped NX livery buses, its going to look even odder when the panel gets replaced (unless they just bash it back into shape lol)

If its vinyled it'll be due a repaint anyway, you never know it might not emerge now until being refurbished!

I don't know whats happened, but I just looked out my window, and 4363 has gone, and now there is an Enviro400 parked up at the 1 stop, showing 'Not In Service'.
