Sorry I did not have my camera with me this afternoon, so unable to provide a picture of 66691 in Crowngate bus station on the 'ramp' with rear nearside suspension collapsed - body panels on that side nearly on the floor at the rear. I plead ignorance, but assume these Volvo's have air suspension so maybe not that serious?

Whilst we’re on the topic of breakdowns, 53207 is seen here near broadway grove being towed away after breaking down an hour earlier

Tim I've seen some of those Volvos very low at the back, especially when having been left overnight. Hopefully nothing to worry about!

It lost its gears. Marcin sorted it the next morning.

It was doing all manner of strange electrical things. A new oil pressure switch sorted it out.

Cheers Matt. I should pop in more often. I'll try to in the future so I can reply to any questions or queries regarding our side.

66698 parked up by HiQ Droitwich road earlier. Hazards on saloon lights off.
Good job it expired there and not across the roundabout!

It lost its gears again... I went out to it that night armed with another gearbox ECU borrowed from 66694 and got it back
