OE34028 on tow through Earl's Court northbound this morning Noticed that it was being towed from the rear. When towing buses, does the direction matter?

OE34028 on tow through Earl's Court northbound this morning Noticed that it was being towed from the rear. When towing buses, does the direction matter? Happens occasionally if there are problems with rear axle, so this is end that needs lifting. In simple terms because it is heavier, need bigger tow truck (although many are big anyway), and due to length of towed setup a lighting rig needs to be hung on outer end (which isn’t very easy with TfLs latest smooth pedestrian friendly front, as need to run a rope from cab side window around front to a pole inside entrance doors. It is also a pain if bus has stopped on a dual carriageway or in a one way system as need police to temporarily block road if got to run against flow.

On WVL275 the door closing sound sounds a bit dodgy (although a month ago it had no door closing sound at all!)

SW1 broke down by Winchmore Hill Sainsburys. Honestly don't know why these are so unreliable but the hybrids have no problem
