Bus breakdown experiences

4215 broke down today in city centre with engineer at attendance

Do you mean 4218?

It was in Coventry :-)

[Trident 4609]

4587's engine being seen to by an engineer at Wolverhampton Bus Station about 15:25 this afternoon

1706 currently broken down on the 276 parked along side Ham Dingle School.

1628 on the 244 this afternoon seemed to be losing power more and more, and kept cutting out. It struggled up hills at walking pace, before eventually limping into Dudley and being replaced by 2100 for the 14:17 243.

Saw a Diamond "nifty 50" being picked up in Kings Heath earlier, too dark and going past too fast on the Green Bus to get a fleetnumber

I think there's something in the air today (or the diesel)...

30821 on the 002 started suffering similar issues to 1628, rapidly losing power before cutting out. I left it at Weoley Castle so did not see if it made it back alive.

Also, 4200 nearly made it onto the 9pm 244 tonight, but was replaced by 1743 on its last 276 trip, with smoke coming out the back

It was not a breakdown but Arriva 110 was 20 min late as blinds were not working but they sent out the bus anyway :) no piece of paper with 110 written on :p

Green Bus Spectra broke down spectacularly outside my house causing huge traffic chaos this morning blocking one of the main roundabouts in and out of Dudley just about to head down the Himley Road

Pretty sure it was 203
