Just wanted to say buses will breaking down a lot more it will become more common because of the hot weather which will cause buses to overheat
Yesterday, Holloway Road next to H&M Prison Holloway the 1st lane was completely blocked off due to two broken down buses
LT527 was broken down on the 253 at the Chambers Road stop due to a broken wheelchair ramp HV96 was broken down on the 29 right at the junction and caused a lot of traffic for vehicles going to Archway from the prison, it also had its engine flap out
Buses will also sound very unhealthy and slow because of the weather
WVH2029 on the 390 yesterday was struggling down Tottenham Court Road and was ready to blow out the motor just was not co-operating while HV i was on yesterday on the 29 to Wood Green was not reaching past 11mph on any of the route

36618 has an unbearably loud noise coming from the rear (think from the air conditioning unit at the back of the roof). It also feels as if it’s about to stall whenever it pulls away from bus stops. 36615 also has the same unbearably loud noise from the air conditioning unit, I do hope this isn’t a TB specific issue with the air con units of the MMC’s

Saw SEN38 in the flesh for the first time today in Bromley on the 352, it gave me a terrible first impression of it however! It sounded pretty awful and was emitting plenty of white smoke when it passed me.

Good to see the polluting baton has been passed from NP to MB It passed me again at Orpington Bus Station this afternoon still polluting. Although it seems like a bad bus, I must admit i'd be interested to try this out on the R8 if it goes out anytime soon

755 was towed into MB last week and today it was towed away to be fixed I did see an E200 without a rear bumper at MB when I went past on Tuesday, might well have been that. Any idea what's happened to 173?
