Hehe, I once had a Volvo B10m suffer a problem (not sure what thought it did start to smell like burning oil quite a bit as the bus progressed towards it's final stop) that started halfway it's journey with intermittent "master caution beeps", literally doing the "Ding!" and then stop, lighting up the master caution lights once or twice and then go off again. With every stop at either a busstop or traffic light we seemed to have more trouble getting moving but the engine kept sounding normal. I was surprised to see people responding to what was happening though (which is good, don't get me wrong), people in The Netherlands would be so caught up in their phone they wouldn't notice a single thing, unless the driver would start to actively request people to get off because of a possible fire-warning...seeing that much steam come out the back would be a sign for me to get off at least...along with hearing the master caution "ding" sound and just overall how bad the engine started to sound, along with it cutting out 2 times... Ugh that engine suffered tremendously...I get that as a driver you'd hate to have to tell your passengers that they will have to wait for another bus because yours is suffering technical problems but this was just insane. Thankfully I have experienced drivers immediately stopping when a particular series of buses we used to have here (MAN Lion City's) tended to "poop out" something out of their exhaust (it looked like oil, not sure what it was) only to then start producing A LOT of thick blue smoke out of the engine compartment at certain intervals only to make sure their engine wasn't on fire. My brother once had a bus that was actively having a fire alarm out of the blue and the driver immediately stopped and requested everyone to get of. My brother was near the stop he had to be and said that there was gray smoke coming out the back, so it was probably a serious, actual warning.

This comes from the tendency in a lot of bus companies to not fix issues when they are first reported, but to instead leave the vehicle in service until it finally gives up completely. There is a good chance that this vehicle had been reported time and time again when a simple repair could have brought it back into serviceable condition. Instead you finish up with this. A very short sighted policy in many ways. And one that often leaves the drivers very frustrated.

The driver really should have queried the issue when the “tractor” sound arose. We had this issue on some ALX400s and it’s fair to say they they were swiftly taken out of service and a (newer) replacement bus dispatched. Luckily we were just down the road from the depot at the time, but even so it was a high frequency route so wouldn’t have been too much of an inconvenience to passengers. Surely there’s a policy in place to stop at the next safest location after a warning buzzer sounds?

Blown Head Gasket causing the ticking noise which is exhaust air passing into the cooling system, causing the overheating. Steam coming from the rear would be normal in the event of an overheat, as the cap to fill the cooling system lets the air pressure out at a certain P.S.I . You can hear the driver not using much throttle before and after Pennyquick to try to stop it overheating again and again, but Bath depot were trying to kill these off.

Totally agree .The comments from some of their customers say it all with some of them leaving because they are worried about the bus catching fire. Terrible customer service IMO. At least having a dialog with the passengers about why he's doing that. Something like saying the bus is poorly but fine to stay in service , and if it gets worse you can get on a replacement bus at least. Not withstanding the vehicle abuse aspect of it - the squealing should have been a prompt for him to stop and investigate.

I mean I have been on the 5 many times and despite how old and tired some of these B7RLE's were I still find interesting and overall not to bad of a ride. Now we got the Ex-Mendips on here we will have to wait and see how they plan out. 69458 has a slight ticking noise like this one from the last time I rided it, not sure if it still has that ticking or not now?

The problem is modern buses are made lighter and with smaller engines also cheaper components that are not up to the punishment they get. I live in Northampton and stagecoach are still using 06 plate dennis tridents that seem to keep plodding on no matter what. I used to like driving tridents apart from one's that had brakes that nearly put you through the windscreen if you just touched the pedal with a toe.

@@cwcptravel6936 That is so common. Drivers are their own worst enemies and seemingly will ignore serious defects. I would like to see the DVSA take earlier action and prosecute drivers and companies putting customers and other road users at risk. I would also like to see engineers more accountable when knowingly allowing defective vehicles to operate a service. I found the way to get round this was to ensure that I asked the engineer to sign off as fit for service, any vehicle with a PG9 defect. Strangely enough they never did! I also had an app on my phone which listed all defects which could lead to an immediate or delayed prohibition, so I could call out any manager or engineer being economical with the truth. Unfortunately, most drivers don't seem to understand the potentially catastrophic consequences of their actions. To remove doubt, those consequences can lead to massive fines, loss of licence and in a worst case scenario, a custodial sentence. That is apart from possibly living with causing the death or serious injury of innocent victims. In later years, cost cutting on maintenance and bullying of drivers was commonplace. Although I still enjoyed the driving and meeting my customers, the job was so ruined by the poor ethos that retirement was a welcome escape. Sorry to get on my soap box, but I feel very strongly about professional driving standards.

As for this driver, he/she should be on a warning for negligence, (this video is evidence in a court of Law too.) and will be held responsible for any damages done to the vehicle whilst he/she was in charge of it, as he/she signed for it on his Rota Duty, so he/she is fully responsible for the vehicle, and as soon as any of the dashboard warning lights or buzzers sound alarm goes off, secure the vehicle at the first available bus stop and inform your garage by way of vehicle coms of the situation, and await fitter. And as a professional driver, you should be constantly looking in your mirrors, you would have noticed the white smoke coming from the engine area of the vehicle, that's the first sign of over heating.

Yea sadly 66722 has started to have a bit of a ticking sound. Last year when Lawrence Hill operated the 37 there was an even chance at getting a B7RLE and I remember 2 of them had this ticking noise, now there in driver training. But the 54 plates are going strong but soon there will no longer be any old buses in Bath.

They get told to keep going till it fully breaks down. Also he wouldn’t be allowed to diagnose the problem. So therefore he couldn’t report

Yeah driving up hill hard with a full load on whilst overheating is pretty bad. Volvo’s are some of the best engines out there and whilst I can understand the driver not wanting to be stranded, they should have stopped sooner.

If the driver isn't taking the opportunity to switch the engine off, when he has the opportunity to do so, then of course the engine is going to dry out and if there's not really enough water then it stands to reason that the engine will go on fire. Bad driver habits, and it's usually the ones who have been driving for decades who are the biggest perpetrators due to arrogance and ignorance. The exact same thing happens with the Police traffic cars around the UK, so much so that BMW has told the UK Police forces that they will no longer be supplying them with their vehicles.
