On the 490, 8832 and 8839 both had a "hiss" sound from the exhaust. Went on both, first 8832 to Richmond and then 8839 back. 8832's "hiss" was loud but apart from that was a pretty good ride. 8839 on the other hand sounded so clapped out. It made a lot of weird sounds from the inside, it had that "hiss" from the outside and was revving a lot. This one's terrible under conditions where there's heavy traffic and at times was slow to pull out. I think the latter really needs maintenance.

Even when these were on the 407 I nicknamed them “The Screamers”.

The vibrations on SEN13 when idling are getting worse. Most of the bus is shaking now.
Amazing that the MG engineers haven't spotted this.

DOE8 has suffered a bad fire on the 154 in Roundshaw Presumably arson? Quite severely damaged.

DOE8 has suffered a bad fire on the 154 in Roundshaw Presumably arson? Quite severely damaged. With the damage being upstairs at the rear (and if contained in time) it could end up becoming an open topper.

DOE8 has suffered a bad fire on the 154 in Roundshaw If damage is bad, then likely to be withdrawn for spare parts from the undamaged section It’s nearly 13 years old, so repairs might be more than it’s book value

SLS21 seems to have some problems as the rattling is horrendous. I'm not usually one to do so, but I will actually make a complaint as it's just unacceptable. Just had a driver change, new driver has tried to isolate and restart but with no effect

DW402 leans too far to the left. It also bounces about too much. Might need to get its suspension checked

LT524 not looking to healthy on the 73 with smoke coming out of the back and the smell of burning rubber More than likely on a regeneration cycle.

VWH1409 seems to be missing since 11/10/21. Didn't think of it at time, but had seemed to have had an breakdown near my area when last on 460, with IBus looking weird in full orange with people forced to get off and driver just about managed to get working again. Electric mode keeps randomly cutting out to diesel when idle as well when I ride it.
EDIT: In typical fashion, VWH1409 returned. It's electric mode is still faulty and in fact seems worse than the last time I rode it.
More an observation thing, but VWH1413 is having weird logins on LVF recently since August. It either spends an sort time on the road with just 2-4 trips, with gaps missing for days and coming back late afternoons, same cycle repeated. I guess sign of long term issue. Wonder if it will VOR for several months yet again?
