Leeds Gemini YJ04FYE 32435 had broken down in the middle of the road this afternoon, and I mean literally in the middle of the road, sat on the white lines, with traffic flowing on either side!! Saw it about 6:00pm on Stanningley Road (route 40A), with a First van and a load of cones behind it. Dont know how it ended up there, but proved quite a nuisance with other buses as it was adjacent to a bus stop!

Arriva Enviro200 1052 (I think) had an incident today where a light was flashing on the dashboard (I think it was the ABS light) and a bad smell was coming from the brakes at the front & the driver had to radio through to control - It then pulled up at Elland for around 5 mins, went back to Halifax Out Of Service to drop passengers off, then it went towards Heckmondwike depot when leaving Halifax out of service.

An Alexander RH broke down in Leeds Bus station on stand 24 showing Otley 33A at dinner time also caused a bit of bother for the 757 which was made 5 - 8 mins late has the 97 was on the stand but Metro were their trying to get it out of the way so the 757 could get in, which shows Metro will do anything for the White Rose Bus Co.

Does it? Or does it mean that they have a duty to try and help passengers get on the right bus what ever means necessary.

30813's Brakes overheated (or had a small fire) while coming down Boothtown Road this evening while working on the 576 route. I got off the bus & noticed a burning smell so I thought Royale = Fire, so I looked to the rear of the bus and noticed loads of smoke coming from around the wheel, so I quickly told the driver & he got all the passengers off and waited for the mechanic to come and drive it away after cooling down for 45 mins.

One of Belle Isles repainted MPD's was towed into the depot while working a 157 to Pontefract while the Arriva depot tour was there.
Not sure which one it was but it was replaced by 201
Edit: The one which failed now identified as 208

40872 broke down in the middle of bay A in Halifax Bus Station today causing havvock, the driver said it had just stopped dead and wouldn't even roll down the road out of the way & It was emitting very large plumes of smoke from the exhaust, the mechanic came & somehow rolled it down fast in neutral with the engine at full rev & stopped it dead at the bottom.
