Just heard 164 drive past with the loudest turbo I’ve ever heard. Not the nicest of sounds! I heard that yesterday, sounds as if the turbo's about to go

Abellio Dart 8037 on a suspended tow (backwards) with some lower panels missing at back And central panel missing at front (but this appeared to be for light bar cable) Seen at Scilly Isles from Claygate, going towards Hampton Court (TF direction) at 3:20pm

LT 404 sat with hazard lights on blocking a lane under the Canning Town Flyover this morning around 10.30am.
Looking at LVF it was in service from 8.40am. Not sure how in ended up there as the A13 was closed towards Poplar because of ride London.

GAL RR WVL 472 marked as VOR on LVF after coming off service yesterday. This bus had been off the road for around 5 days only returning on Thursday! I wonder what's happened. Quoting myself here
WVL 472 still hasn't returned to service. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this bus? I assume it was involved in a RTA.

Currently on 36298 on the 366, loud automated voice from cab saying "attention handbrake on"
It isn't as we're currently doing around 30 heading up to Beckton Retail Park
*edit* bus just went over a bump in sainsburys and the voice has stopped

WS130 broken down outside Beckenham Road Tram Stop whilst on route 227 These don’t be seem to be doing well at all!! No wonder wright are really struggling at the moment. WS2’s engine went bang, and looks like it’s being stripped for parts and I saw WS118 and another one from Mb at the wright repair centre

When that batch is working, they’re pretty good. However just a few months in service, it’s not acceptable to have buses in a repair centre. I also heard a couple of weeks ago that one was there

WS118 broke down due to the air not building up which from what i hear turned out to be the pipe coming off the air compressor [EDIT] as the buses are under warranty the engineers are probably not allowed to touch anything which is why they are sent to Wrights even for silly little things. Same with our MECs.
