Alx400 30942 seemed unable to get into gear this afternoon on the 15.10 service 1 from holt park to beeston.bus was full & driver tried setting the gears but it woudlnt enable but instead rolling backwards down the hill! After 10 mins of trying to get into gear & about 4 full restarts driver told everybody to get on 31808 that was behind on the 1 instead!

Suspension gone on another eclipse in Burnley on the 592, driver brought it back as far as Tod bus station, said he drove at 20mph all the way due to it bouncing too much and after seeing it travel (sorry, bounce, bounce, bounce) just a few yards I'm supprised the driver wasn't ill! What bus was that? 66760 or 66755 by any chance? I use the Caldervalleys quite alot and it has only happened to me once on 66755, leaning to the left extensively in Hebden Bridge and a loud catching noise from the rear axle.

37647 was towed to Birstall volvo crossroads at 2.30 this afternoon. Tow truck hired by Crossroads and not First because otherwise it would have been a S&H truck. Wonder if it broke down while Volvo were taking it for a test drive. lol

Wonder if it broke down while Volvo were taking it for a test drive. lol Or S&H were unable to do the job, even the breakdown truck could have broken down. I remember seeing an AA recovery truck with a 4X4 on it while towing a caravan being revovered from the M1 by a rather large Highway recovery truck.
