What happens when your bus breaks down in City Of London?

[@davidwilkes83]

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.

[@adlam97531]

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.

[@knightwolf3511]

those belts looks like they never got replaced like a inspection every so many years

[@sciisfun]

They go very quickly from good to that, it only takes a slight nick, or a stone up in there. They’re so easy and quick to change on the Cummins that I’d be surprised if it wasn’t changed annually, ours mostly are out of London

[@madmania056]

​@sciisfun don't get mr wrong something can maybe happen. Over night.. but I doubt they have been looked at our during a safety they glanced over them and thought, mhm they will last till next safety.. definitely an attuide in this trade..

I’m Irish myself (from Rural Ireland, my home County is Meath and covered by Bus Éireann) and have lived 21 years in Manchester U.K. - I’ve heard similar stories about Dublin Bus (Bus Atha Cliath) before - Manchester & Salford (in Greater Manchester) are separate cities, like Oldham, Rochdale, Trafford, Bury, Tameside, Ashton, etc 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️

[@legendarylegion1]

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.

[@thatbusdriverguy4182]

Wow

[@davedrew9328]

Oh I never realised how much paper work a Bus Driver has to do.

[@jimtonio9363]

I had a shredded alternator belt on my 1965 route master one afternoon. Thing about front engine buses is that when the belt goes you can feel it slapping the underside of your cab floor. There was enough of the belt left on it that we actually managed to get the bus into London to do the wedding and back home without an issue. Old technology takes the cake once again

I had a coolant flexi hose split on a Scania and the amber coolant light came on so I carried on as its not uncommon for that light to come on but within 1 mile the coolant tempreture needle went to red I broke down 2 stops away from the terminus so it was close enough.

[@kristinajendesen7111]

My garage, Westbourne Park (X), said that they could do an enging swap on an RM in half a day. The MCW Metros and Leyland Titans used to take a couple of days though.

[@darylcheshire1618]

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.

[@thatbusdriverguy4182]

In Peterborough, they have running numbers, but they don't run in order on the route, they run in order of run out, so on the Citi1 running number 101 and 102 could be at different ends of the route.

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.

[@thatbusdriverguy4182]

Believe it or not I can relate I was a electrician in LT days worked in many garage and I didn’t go out to buses but if a bus had electrics issue I would fix it but driver has to bring bus to garage . It all private not so we don’t mess with other companies buses lol.. thanks for you great comment

[@annabelholland]

It's even worse if a train or guided bus (Cambridge) breaks down as its not like both can go around it. Its also worse if it breaks down on a narrow road to the point a bus or even motor traffic cannot pass a broken down bus

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.

[@pineappleroad]

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

@@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.👍

[@MaxBarnish]

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.

[@stuartsinclair6269]

It’s the same around the country, buses are work horses everyday but soo little time for maintenance I presume to service a bus will take a whole day or two???

[@thatbusdriverguy4182]

Usually their is a number of buses off the road for routine maintenance. On a rota system.. but things will still go wrong.

@That Bus Driver Guy The IBus Controller is either Red = CentreComms ( Code Red) Blue = Your IBUS Controller ( Stagecoach) if in doubt Ring You Depot - always better than IBUS controllers

Ibus controller is your local controller for you company, Thats the green button they are based in West Ham depot. Blue is NMCC which use to be called CentreCom, Red is also NMCC that for real emergencies. Blue is also urgent issues plus to report anything that is hindering bus journeys.

Hi I had both my alternator belts on an old Leyland Atlantean go on a Doncaster to Goole return at night out in the countryside. A so called handyman came out to replace the belts, first thing he did was switch all the lights out! I switched them back on, he tried to switch them back off, it was pitch black where we were what a plonker. 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.
