A significant number of PD's buses are running with noisy fans. This problem is not confined to the Stagecoach fleet and is ongoing. I wonder what is the problem? A poorly designed fan/placement or poor maintenance? A combination of both? Just cheap design by Graysons, have a ride or spend any amount of time around the East Kent Scania E400’s and the majority of fleet are running in fail safe mode, never really see this issues on Volvo’s fitted with the Volvo system

I heard Stagecoach Ambassador (12345) again this morning. I would have hoped it would have been fixed by now.

Pretty sure it’s a very low priority job for engineers, as no warning lights show on the dash, and technically they are still working

E121 on the 57 with a loud exhaust, which I usually like the sound of on some models

Saw 13142 on the 135 this evening and the driver struggled to get the bus moving again after stopping at the George Green's School bus stand. The driver was trying to top up the air cylinder but didn't seem to work. Didn't stay to see the aftermath but not surprised if it needs to be taken care of by a service vehicle.

VW1387 broke down at Heston "St Leonard's Church" while on the 120 (2241 from Hounslow). I must have jinxed it when I had it earlier in the evening, as it was booked to form the last bus from Hounslow and therefore I should have had it again
