If you see any buses in West Yorkshire which have broken down, why not post it here!
To get it started, I saw 30673 G180JYG in the bus station today with one of First's ancilliary vans behind it. They where looking at the engine. I suspect the 15 got a bit delayed.

It was about 10:40am. It wasn't actually raining then, but it did start not long after.

Hot summer days are much more likely to see buses failing than wet ones, in my opinion, although a driver might fail a bus if the water comes through the upper saloon and onto his head... Don't think I have been on a failed bus for a long time (either in Leeds or elsewhere).

Saw Arriva Dennis Lance/Alexander Strider 828 (I think - it was dark) just up the hill from Bailiff Bridge on 227 preaumably, but with all lights out. Must have been there some time as only the hazards were on and they were very faint, with the next 227 due about 5 minutes later. Battery failing?

Dennis Lance/Alexander Strider 801 failed in Dewsbury bus station today. It had just pulled awat from the stand on the 0935 service 221 to Leeds. The driver came into the bus station and used his mobile phone to let someone know "The airbag has gone".
Then, using the aid of a bus station member of staff, he managed to reverse said bus to the layover bays! Like a lot of other bus stations these days, Dewsbury has a one-way system.
