Buses being repaired

[selondon]

Not sure if I could put this somewhere else but couldn't see

I go around various garages as part of my job and sometimes get to see buses in states people don't see. Thoughts I'd share. Some are a few years old and some from yesterday

Driver crashed into the bus wash in walworth garage






Both at new cross garage a couple years back













At PD having a gearbox change iirc




Currently at truck align for repairs 26/10/16

A few pictures of buses being repaired? Feel free to add. I only get to see things from a south east London perspective.

I would add more later

To change a gearbox on a dart (34360) you don't have to take the engine out. Allison gearbox changes are nice and simple. I would hazard a better guess that it is awaiting a new/ reconned engine.

To me it looks like 34360 was being robbed of parts as the exhaust is also missing.

First and foremost, hope passengers alighted from the bus unscathed. Secondly, how?

Another couple I found. Totally forgot the fleet number but this was a arriva dartford. It had 3 engines and 3 gearboxes around it. About 6 weeks ago I think.
