2446 was making some weird noise today out on the 156. Sounded unhealthy.

Saw a Go-Ahead WVN being towed through Kenley heading north around midday. No idea which one it was as I was driving and a few cars in front but when I turned off and saw it in the rear view mirror it looked like one from AL.

I was about to give ENX10 a good review and say it wasn’t as slow and sluggish as the other ex 289 ENX’s but it seemed to go into limp mode after stopping at Westmoreland Road and has now become very slow. Really struggled up the small hill to Bromley South Station.
Unsurprisingly it either broke down or was subbed shortly after.

E123 a couple of weeks ago has restricted acceleration and ended up climbing Anerley Hill in 2nd - better than T193 did but both easily beaten by WVL431

Think WHV 101 is broken down on the approach to Canning Town bus station, no driver with the bus and displaying Not In Service. The rear of the bus looks like it’s dropped much lower than the front. Guessing an issue with the suspension?

DW493 on 158 sounds like it has an issue.

I have to add TE1438 to this list unfortunately. Luckily I don't drive her very often...she's extremely sluggish on the relatively flat The Ridgeway when running light from PB to Chase Farm Hospital. I was struggling to hit 30mph. It's a shame as she has a new dashboard fitted, and the brakes are very nice, among one of the best on the TEs, which are notoriously jerky compared to the VW/VWH/VMH's. TE1437 is a good performer, but with the worst brakes of any buses at the garage...it's impossible to brake smoothly.

There is an LT out there with all over black livery that was leaking excessive smoke while operating Route M yesterday on RR. The smoke was really bad and was leaking to the top deck which was unbreathable (fortunately not many passengers). Arriva were operating the M yesterday but cant seem to locate the bus, and recall it was maybe in the 700s. The bus was also leaking excessive rain into the top deck as well.
All in all that bus should be out of service but I suspect it is out there somewhere.

SE240 did not sound particularly healthy when it passed me on the 434 earlier, there was lots of screeching coming from it.

HV72 broke down at Temple Fortune, and looking at LVF has tons of short runs during the full days out.

Don’t know how to clearly describe this but a fun one.
VWH2100 sounds reminiscent of an older bus pre 1970s (somewhat reminds me of a RT/RML) with some louder than usual revving. I assume this is a blown exhaust?
