Bus driver in the West Midlands here and yes when we break down up here we also have to remain with the vehicle until an engineer comes out to us usually with a changeover vehicle so we can continue our route, but sometimes there isnt a vehicle in the garage to bring to us so the engineer comes out in the service van which us drivers then drive back to our home garage.

You’re so right about breaking down out of the way . I broke down at a junction and it caused a few issues with other buses , but they could just get past . Other times I have tried to keep it going till there is somewhere out of the way to stop.

Once I was a student travelling on an old charter bus. I was sitting up the front with some friends. As the driver started to move the bus lurched and the engine stopped. I exclaimed, “he’s stalled it!”, without batting an eyelid, the driver said, “no it broke down”. Meaning his professional dignity was intact.

I had a B9 alternator belt go on me when I was doing 40, The bus gave me no warning other than shutting itself down, which losing power steering on a 12 ton bus is a little unnerving at that speed. Had to wait nearly 2 hours for the engineer to get to me (because they decided to send him from the home depot at Oldham instead of the depot at Huddersfield which was around the corner 🙄). When he got there he found out he didn't have the right belt so had to jerry rig one out of zip ties, it didn't charge the battery but it seemed to fool the bus into not shutting down. I got most of the way to the depot and the bus gave in again in the middle of road works blocking the whole road 🤪. We had to have the battery booster kept in to keep the bus going back the rest of the way.

I remember one of the Arriva buses near where I live once broke down on the approach to a level crossing (fortunately there was a bus stop just before the crossing that the driver parked the bus at) And there was the time I was heading to Blyth with my sister, where a journey that should have been on one bus ended up being across THREE buses, the first one broke down about half way along the route, the next service came along, so all the passengers got on that one, and then just outside blyth, that bus broke down, and all the passengers ended up transferring to a different service that also went to Blyth (same bus company) Although I’ve not known this to happen with a broken down bus I have seen drivers where I live leave buses unattended with passengers on board

Back in the 80's I was a driver for Hastings & District. I twice had windscreens shatter while in service. The first was on a nice sunny day about 50 feet from the terminus stop in Eastbourne. So sat there for an hour or so waiting for a mechanic with a replacement bus. Nice. Not so nice was the second time. A miserable, freezing snowstorm. Bus in service, but fortunately no passengers on board. Windscreen shattered about a mile from nearest habitation and phone. Drove slowly to the phone box, snow blowing in through hole in the screen. Looked/felt like the Abominable Snowman when I got to it. Rang depot (and home, to say I'd be a bit late) then waited for nearly four hours until replacement bus arrived. Mechanic said it took him over an hour to get to me (in service running time was about 20 minutes). Instructions from depot was to run light back to Rye sub-depot, where I was based. That took me over an hour for what would normally be about 25 minutes. Then had to drive home, usually about a 20 minute drive - took nearly 2 hours. Would have normally been home around 20.00 on that duty. Got there about 01.45. I loved my job, sometimes.

Back in the day, 1970’s. Invariably, if you broke down, you phoned your garage, and depending upon time of day, and how busy the fitters were, they would invariably send out fitters from another garage. I was at TB (Bromley Garage), so if we were doing a 47 job, and we broke down north of London Bridge, it was always fitters from Dalston or Hackney that came out to you. South of London Bridge, it was either PM, Q or sometimes NX, depending what the nature of the breakdown was, and where you was. Once had a strange breakdown, broke down at Shoreditch Church, last one back to TB, 23:20. Had to wait almost 2 hours before a fitter came out from SF (Stamford Hill). Stampford Hill was an all RM garage, and we had an RT. Fitter could not get it going, so told us to take the RM. My driver had to refuse, as he was not type trained, as TB at the time was all RT. We had to wait till 2:30 am for a fitter from TB could come and pick us up. Nice little 3 hours o/t. Just so glad it was a summers evening when that happened.

@@lucystokes12 Correct, and as a retired London Transport bus mechanic. I would say that those belts were passed their best. Unfortunately some poor unfortunate engineer, will receive a kick up the backside not to mention the amount of road miles lost. Stagecoach engineering management and directors, would scream their heads off because of the penalties incurred. As one engineering director said to me one morning during the early run out. "My lads in Manchester, would not lose me one bloody mile". I do hope that the poor mechanic keeps his job. As for the driver, he should pop off to the nearest toilet, city of London or not. No one should be expected to just sit and wait. Call your controller, and just tell him you're answering the call of nature. Kind regards all Jonnie.👍

They no longer give out the blue onward travel vouchers to use on the next bus. This is probably due to the Hopper Fare, but there are cases in which someone would miss out, e.g. a series of buses, the final change being just inside the hour, or a long bus journey. In this case, the drivers have advised just to tell the next driver what happened and it worked OK for me the one time it happened to me. It was a 51 from Woolwich to Orpington, got caught in traffic and terminated after 70 minutes at Foots Cray.

No street lights or anything he said his van was enough maybe at the back what about the front!. He was worried about running the batteries flat but he had jumping capabilities in his van.

Any driver filming this where I work would be subject to instant dismissal! Be very careful doing this.

Is it the driver's responsibility to do mechanical pre start checks on your vehicle?
@erkinalp7 ай бұрын
They do, but sometimes there is no spare vehicle in the depot, hence no means besides somehow proceeding.
@garryirons72036 ай бұрын
No drivers don't do mechanical checks they only do visual exterior and interior checks and they aren't allowed to change a headlight bulb, the driver doesn't even check the oil
@MrBusandy7 ай бұрын
You don't check it's not your job. If you break down it's upto the engineers to discover what happened.

Why do they bother fooling around at the side of the road with mechanic’s trying to fix it? Send out the tow and get the bus out of the way
@thatbusdriverguy41827 ай бұрын
Because it was a quick belt change, they done it before I moved off with sub bus.. The brought new built, because I told the controllers that built was shredding. The bus started so all was good.
