typical 465! alx300s i think are the worst for breaking down as are so poor at accelerating

B7RLE 69251 or was it 69252 was receiving attention from the mechanics outside St Luke"s Hospital at 6am today. As the buses that pass the Hospital in the main are usually Geminis on the 640/641 Red Line this bus could had been on a positioning journey to take up a service on the 612/613 from Buttershaw when it developed it"s problem

Was on one of Heckmondwikes ALX 300 461 on the 212 today and the bus was going very slow and was loosing alot of time and was struggling up hills, I don't think it even got past 30 mph. We got to Babes in the Wood were a president was waiting and the driver asked us to get off the ALX 300 and get onto the president

Arriva 171 had failed in Wakefield Bus Station this morning. Looked like an electrical fault, no warning lights just surrounded by cones at the bottom of Bay 7. It was there almost an hour until fixed.

Saw a Wright Single Deck bus break down at Beckett Street, just before the Hospital around 5:30pm . Not sure whether it was a volvo B6BLE or Scania L113, can anyone confirm this.
