One bendy. Park Row. Broken. One bendy. Weetwood police station. Broken.
Hmmm about time we stopped fixing them and got rid!? Judging by another one yesterday. That's 3/4 broken within 18 hours.

One bendy. Park Row. Broken. One bendy. Weetwood police station. Broken. Hmmm about time we stopped fixing them and got rid!? Judging by another one yesterday. That's 3/4 broken within 18 hours. There was one on Park Row outside Lloyds Bank blocking the traffic lights (nice parking, could have dropped off at another stop further up or down or better still, the drivers on the 1 could park at their bus stop and not at the end of it, just tell those idiots trying to board that they can't and shut the door in their face simples!) driver on the bendi appeared to try to move it with the centre doors open, not supprised they break down with crap roads and some (note I said some, you all know there are some out there who's village is missing them) crap drivers. I'll say no more on that. Can somebody please have a word with the fella in the sky and ask him to produce babies with brains.

Think we've been here before !! Penfold

I've been on a few DAF Optare spectras when they have reversed out of a bus station. Usually fixed with turning the engine on and off...

Might be more complex than turning it off and on if its been looked at by mechanics and then it did it a few day later again

Isolated the engine several times to no avail. Finally after 15mins of isolating engine, gears were eventually found. ! Penfold

Bring back those gearboxes with a big lever for the left hand to push and pull and a pedal for the left foot to press between gear changes, and the little fellas will move on
