DW472 loud hissing from front doors even when doors closed, slow acceleration, out on the 123 this afternoon. DW472 has always been slow. Recently I was on the 41 and I personally I like DW472 become of its great functioning kickdown. Anyway after Edison Road,DW472 struggled to climb up the hills

DW417 is another very slow DW from AR, was struggling on the incline on Woodford Avenue just past Claybury Broadway towards Gants Hill last Saturday on the 123 and was only doing about 10mph on a 40mph section with all the cars behind were desperately trying to overtake this DW.

Few Hours ago, I saw 16985 at Walthamstow Bus Station with half front door open and a front flat tyre. Also couple hours before that, I saw a 192 come off service at Enfield with a flat tyre. Didn’t took notice of the fleet number unfortunately. Here’s a pic of the G2 bus: flic.kr/p/2oNt47H

HV26 is another Arriva G2 with a turbo leak. Sadly also has the annoying hybrid failure issue with engine rattling and acceleration.

T282 was sounding like a clapped out B7TL with cooling fan on high on Tuesday evening when I had it on the 466, and ENX4 was sounding a bit rough as it passed me on the 166 this afternoon.

Stagecoach 11026 sounds like an air raid siren is going off. I assume it is something to do with the fans? It has been like this for at least a week. 11026 still sounds awful! and now can add 11032 to the list. I know its probably the fans but these bus are ridiculously loud.

ENL105 on 166 struggling to climb any uphill. Although it could be all buses on that route as it was the first time I had taken it but this bus struggled to climb minor gradients let alone the big ones on the route.

Yeah they all do - it doesn't help that the gear ratios on Voith Enviro 200's aren't particularly implemented well for hill climbing to begin with but this batch has been rather ragged to death it seems

E170 broke down whilst on the 304 today and needed to be towed back to RR from Custom House Station around 2.30pm. These E400s are breaking down frequently now.

DOE35 sounds like it is farting when it accelerates quickly. Keep in mind it’s on the 80 at night so getting floored everywhere, it sounds horrible going through residential streets

One of the E200MMCs on the 490 sounds like an old Dennis Dart which brings back memories.

2581’s hybrid system was not sounding particularly healthy on the 407 this evening. It also had a very worn out horn which the driver had to blast to get someone parked in the way at Purley Station to move
