Bus breakdown experiences

Joes Travel Dart M71CYJ seen at roadside near Harborne with bonnet up this lunchtime with Joes Travel van behind it.
Another of Joes Darts was parked opposite whose driver was presumably having his break!

Theyre not that old compared to the metros NX were still operating recently

Don't worry i was joking ;) But difference is i would easily take a Metrobus over a dart.Metrobuses were brilliant IMO even in their old age ;)

4012 broken down in Wolverhampton Bus Station today (Same position 4002 broke down in yesterday)

Later saw Gemini 4691 being towed engine first through Pool Meadow Coventry by recovery truck back to WT.

1477 broke down in Walsall Bradford Place on the 34/38 and 1892 looked to be it's replacement. There was also a b7rle on the 4 so it could have been swapped for 1892 as the b7rle's can't be used on the 38.

4803 pouring smoke out the exhaust into traffic on the 9 this morning. Have a feeling that bus is not going to last long in service today...

4009 on the back of a Mansfield truck on the Wednesfield Road just after 3pm.

So thats why 4021 came off the 28 onto the 59 then

And possibly why 4002 came onto the 28, replacing 4021?

[Trident 4609]

Tbh i think i saw 4002 on the 28 in the first place. 638 looked like the replacement bus

Whilst passing on a number 1, I saw 4628 broke down at Priory Rd/Pershore Rd. Must've been on the 47 as a 45 just overtook it as it stopped. Quite funny actually to see a 54 plate Trident overtaken by a Y-reg bag of nails!

Had a great B7rle on the 1. Is that a regular thing now?
