On my way home and the 104 broke down. Thankfully a spare bus was sent to us to continue the service. :)
104 Service in Manchester. 20th Jan 2012.

[@etrazombanya-2821]

this bus is 19049 - MX56 FRU, it is still in service

[@palexandersquires]

The envirobuses we have 12 Plate are numbered from 36523 to 36527 We got them last year April 2012 and a driver said they had the wrong fuel tanks fitted so we had to change the nozzle on the fillers now they are running well these are the single deck Enviro 200`s we also have some of the double deck 400`s our bus company is Stagecoach Grimsby Cleethorpes.

It's was dark but now theirs is light

[@ryanwoodall4273]

So peace ful

[@1100HondaCB]

At my depot, all buses are out on the road first thing and management are very strict about leaving the depot on time as they realise people need us to get to work. I've never known a service to be missed out, but at First (where I also use to work) often a service was missed out and they didn't care at all. In my home town people are always moaning at me about First as they've yet again put their fares up and changed their routes.

[@1100HondaCB]

I've never had many breakdowns at my depot. In the two and half years out of all the depots I've worked at, I've had about two and that was an overheating problem. Therefore, to be honest, breakdowns aren't that common at all.

[@britishrailvideos2427]

good job they were on the ball with the spare bus

[@martinswales3071]

yes its a pain when your on your way home on a bus and its broke down

[@jonny2k100]

Well most of the time it is the company that owns the buses that are responsible, yes of course breakdowns will happen, these vehicles spend all day on the road but at the end of the day I live near Newcastle and Arriva NE has a reputation for poor reliability, when drivers know something is wrong with their buses more often than not they continue on regardless and the buses are never maintained, surely you'll agree that bad maintenance increases the chances of a breakdown by a heck of a lot

[@palexandersquires]

Did they Say what was wrong with your bus? I like buses especially the Volvo F7L and the Dennis Enviro 200`s of which we have got 5 on the 16 Willows Estate route sometimes appearing on the 13 Route

[@1100HondaCB]

Tridents break down a lot too from what I've been told.

[@jaggass]

They're pretty reliable up here.

[@martinswales3071]

Thay need to fix them right I was on the 313 gowing to stoxkport bus as soon as I got on at asdwood it broke down so we had to wait for the 319 by stagechohch opter

[@Corvette1658]

Yeah i think they is air in the fuel system. Because it sounds like it pops and tire's to fire.

[@cameronbourne6394]

optare's break down all the time as well

[@constellixx]

Our bus always broke down on our school runs. Its always stagecoach that break down in my school xd rip

[@joecole53]

same lol xD RawR

[@sambee8982]

You ran out of fuel!

[@1100HondaCB]

Some of the new Enviros have put conrods through the sump. Give me an old Volvo B10. Indestructible.

[@iinxva_blade]

Oh gawd oh man oh gawd oh man oh gawd

[@Kaikaiblogs]

I was in that bus yea it took AGES

[@1100HondaCB]

Why is that? Stagecoach could be far worse. At least they make an effort to keep buses running, unlike First, where it's hit and miss if it will turn up at all.

[@1100HondaCB]

Probably not. This bus makes up about 0.0001% of the fleet and with Souter's millions and many other assets, I'm sure he really is bothered. I very much doubt he even knows this vehicle exists on his many fleets of many.

[@wharris302]

Scania enviro400s are ok attually. Its the long wheel base 1 that 1 is terrible,they go up in flames or the egsuast pipe falls of....oh and they shred there fan belt alot.....

[@TheTransportExplorer]

LOL my school bus is that same fleet (enviro 400) London

[@sivader17]

Bet flabs ran it

[@1100HondaCB]

That is sure an Enviro400, but can't see if it's the Alexander Dennis or Scania platform. Working in the dark winter evenings is so depressing. I hate dark mornings and evenings.

[@BusesinLondon345]

It’s the Alexander Dennis

[@SPPhotography89]

Museum Leyland engines. body and chassis meybe Alexander Dennis

[@danielacott5458]

That Was MX56FRU

[@StagecoachSouthEastBusspotter]

I love 19049 but i wouldnt be surprised if it was haha

[@stevenpatrickjamion]

They need to check their fuel gauge.

[@BillDFC]

Brian Soutar lost a lot of sleep over this.

[@biggydave1992]

enviro 500 actually

[@1100HondaCB]

The odds of being a passenger on a bus breadown are quite few and far between. Stagecoach service their vehicles every three weeks, even though the VOSA requirement is four weeks. They spend alot of money on servicing in order to minimise breakdowns. They also invest extensively in new vehicles and don't like tatty vehicles, which is why they repaint their buses every two years regardless. Don't forget, I drive them day in day out and can't remember the last time I had a bus breakdown on me.

[@strathclydebuses]

rather stagecoach than first bus anyday

[@step0011]

Northampton alx400's and 09 Man enviro's 300... = forever breaking down! Man's have radiators that get choked up and overheat... Alx400's spent 5 years thrashed from p'boro - milton keynes... Enviro 400's are falling apart (scania) and the 12 reg scania enviro 300's are sooooo sloooowww!!! Not to mention the allotment sheds... I mean darts... The only ones that seem to work well are the 60 reg vdl 300's lol

[@volvotrident4835]

This video gets 13,000 views but if i make a vid like that it would only get 2 how typical..

[@martinswales3071]

I know it was not starting

[@nathan83699]

probbley ran out of water

[@AzzY300689]

You would have had an Enviro200 not 300 :)

[@nathan83699]

sounds like the engine is fucked up and it completed ran out of fuel

[@palexandersquires]

I wonder if the driver would of said "Please Stop Filming this!" to you. I was on a Dennis Dart Last Sunday at 16:00 and the brakes ground so our driver said to us " This Bus Sounds ILL" So Stagecoach sent us another Bus 15 Minutes later on our number 13 route.
