(02/08/2012 00:23)Damien Wrote: [ -> ]Well Thomas, I Have been on 31920 three times in the last week, last wednesday 31920 was doing a 572 and an engineer had to be called to it, as it wouldnt go into gear in the bus station, a day later. I had it again, and it kept stalling at the lights on my 571. And today, it was obviously in difficulties going ever so slow, and holding up the traffic behind it for quite some way. Sister bus 31919 was broken Down in Bury on Monday morning rush hour. So nothing wrong with it, i beg to differ

I was on 31920 on the 571 today, and it was perfectly fine. It had a perfect idle, it had no gear problems, and it was also very fast! Exactly the same it was as it was on the three times in July that I got on it. It must have been having a funny phase when you went on it lol. :P

Hello Thomas, I've been waiting on you to post, I knew you would, I saw 31920 earlier in Bolton, :P

Yes ok it sounds alright today, but so did 40405 last week, but still it broke down three times in a week,
Point is Engineers fix it, then usage and service makes these old boys detoriate. Now ok some Arrows are seamless and go on and on, same as the darts. But my point is obviously Bolton Engineers have sorted it out for now, and it sounds good for now, but emphasis is for now. After all it along with the other p reg arrows, makes it odds on to be withdrawn very very soon, for now I'll watch this space.

As you say it must have been having a funny day when I was on it
Lol

I've heard that it's gone there because 30803 has been in a bit of an accident. :P However, whether it's actually been in an accident or not though is a different matter, I don't 100% trust the source that I got the information off.

Hi Thomas,

Just had lovely arrow 31920 on the 571, sounded good, except next time your on, sit on the back seat, and listen to the engine. I know this is going to sound sad, but it sounded like someone was shaking coffee beans up

Also on the subject of 30803 don't know how much you're source of info checks his info, but 30802,3 and 4 have all been on 471 duties today. As Bury are very short on buses due to the B9s being repainted

If 30803 was involved in a prang it's not been enough to keep it off road according to reported info
