Now call me suspicious but that's the 3rd connexions bus what's broke down at that exact spot, the first one being the Verde Scania a couple of years ago. I'm not saying it's all deliberate but it's weird!

Just seen Arriva President 695 being towed backwards out of Leeds City Centre. Front panel bit was missing, despite being retained on truck from the rear. Not sure if breakdown or accident.
I was a bit shocked at first, as I'd just gone upstairs on Arriva step entrance Spectra 632 (on 444). I sat on the upstairs front seat and looked out of the window to see the front of the President facing me as we headed southwards over Crown Point Bridge!

Had the misfortune of being on 61059 on route 9 to Pudsey as it stopped on Dewsbury Road, unable to set off as driver kept on revving it and turning engine off there. Incident happened around 3pm.  Before this happened there was a whistling sound coming from engine. Michael Windle |

If so then i doubt it will be repaired with a cascade of Scanias from Bolton due. |

If they are going on the 301/302 Golcar circulars, they should have ordered the Max version instead.

Yesterday saw Halifax's 37046 (06 reg B7TL) parked up at Huddersfield Bus Station in the late afternoon/early evening. I wonder if later that day it was towed back to Elmwood or to Old Fieldhouse Lane for attention.

AY Spectra 718 decided to dump most of it coolant just outside Pontefract this afternoon. Manage to limp back to Belle Isle under its own steam if you forgive the pun !!

Gearbox trouble for AY Gemini 1539 on the 23.01 252 Dewsbury - Cleckheaton with the vehicle refusing to engage first gear upon departure from Heckmondwike. After five minutes of struggling we did move off but when subsequent stops were needed the driver kept the vehicle revving.
