E120 broke down in Mitcham Town Centre this afternoon whilst on route 270, causing a huge traffic jam behind it. I was stuck onboard E197 on route 127 for about 15 minutes until we managed to clear it

OS20250 had a beeping sound coming from the cab after moving off from a stationary position whilst on route 463, and for some reason the driver was revving it quite a lot, at one point it was revving so much when we were supposed to inch forward in the massive traffic jam at Beddington ASDA that I thought we had lost drive, but fortunately this wasn't the case.

T1 appears to have given up the ghost on the 198 this afternoon, just as I was waiting for it in Shirley . Still showing as being stuck at Shirley Library so I assume it’s run into difficulty. I did see two Police cars head in its direction shortly after it suddenly vanished off iBus, hopefully it wasn’t for something T1 was involved in. EDIT: It has now stopped tracking altogether so assume it has run into difficulty

LT317 could potentially be VOR because I just saw it outside AR blinded for the 19 with a front panel missing

LT317 could potentially be VOR because I just saw it outside AR blinded for the 19 with a front panel missing Only short term. The reason for that was probably because it was towed back

E118 on the 57 with a pleasantly noisy gearbox, making the engine sound more euro5.

VH45109 is awful - the bus had the slowest acceleration I've ever seen - was really revving up every time it left the bus stop and lacked power to go much over 15 really. The sooner the 139 goes to Metroline and these terrible vehicles go (Hopefully off lease, never to be seen in London, or at least NW London again) the better.

Would be a big waste if they leave London given their age - hopefully, they are sorted out to work properly like what Arriva did with the ex Stagecoach B5LH's

I agree all that batch seem pretty awful, I'm a bit disappointed the 139 isn't getting all electric buses but whatever Metroline use has to be an improvement.
