About a month ago maybe coming up to 2 months now, apparently the driver managed to extinguish the fire before it got too serious.

Never the same after fire or flood damage

620 is now at Chaserider, not sure if it's a loan or a transfer yet but its on the Wolverhampton 71.

Quote from: Wba_lad on July 27, 2024, 01:36:46 PMChaserider 62 has now been MOTd so could see the road very soon.

Still no sign of it, probably broke down on the 50 yard return journey from the MOT test.

How do they manage to ruin so many buses

It's not some much ruining them, semmed like 620 lost all the air pressure and wouldn't build it back up, I might be wrong, but the when the tow truck was there it was connecting air hose first, assuming maybe just tried building the air pressure up first.

would need to connect the air lines to build the pressure to release the brakes to be towed too, and prob safer to tow it with air issues i would think.

52 was towed back into depot yesterday.

Looking at it D&G's 4 is on the 60 currently. No idea if it's a tracking error or if it is on the 60

-Edit its 638 tracking as 4 -

i travelled on 625 yesterday to Lichfiled on the 828 - dear me what a state to send a bus out in service. back end plastered in oil, back seat / parcel shelf area thick in grime/soot and dirt, looks like windows never been cleaned, and the exhaust manifold was chuffing like hell

certanily not a good advert to attract bus usage!!!

It's got engine failure. Its next to be withdrawn. Think they're waiting on 195, 198 and 704 to return before they scrap it

Be a long wait then unless it self combusts first
