Not clapped out but 19794 has a solid bit of graffiti on the rear. Probably the first time I’ve ever seen a London bus with any!

DW407's closing door sound is very interesting to say the least

Some fun findings today.
HV97 on the 221 broke down in middle of the road today near Friern Barnet town hall with back cover open, causing traffic. TE992 now runs in limp mode.

Stagecoach 12280 broke down at the top of the Fastrack busway between Darent Valley Hospital and Bluewater at roughly 12pm today whilst on the 96 heading towards Woolwich. The bus remained there until 10pm when it was finally towed away by a recovery truck.

2404 broke down outside Purley Tesco this evening whilst on the 407, blocking buses from entering the Purley High Street/Purley Tesco stop.
191 wasn’t sounding particularly healthy this evening either when I had it on the 434 earlier, there was a rattling noise coming from the rear. It was also uncharacteristically slow up Foxley Hill Road although this could be because it had fairly big load at the time. It was also changing gear whilst still in low revs apart from a few occasions which could suggest its had one of the new Allison xFE gearboxes fitted?

VWH1417 has developed an short whizzing sound when it is revving. This one also seems to overrev more often than usual. Probably drivers trying to compensate for slow acceleration caused by reluctance to fix hybrid mode failure?
In relation, 11/17 in that 62 Reg batch have an hybrid failure of sorts. Oddly only 4 of them had battery replacements, which I was reporting in another thread, and abruptly stopped during May which was 4 months ago.

ENX7 is just as slow and sluggish as the rest of the 289’s ENX’s. It was crawling up the Purley Way when I drove past it.
