Well i was supposed to do a couple of trips on the 216 for my next part but have been asked to go cover a school in glossop. On the way up mottram road the bells and lights all started going off and the bus ground to a halt. After getting out to have a look it seemed to be leaking lots of water. Oops. After waiting 10 the depot called me back to say it was normal and the water system was just spitting out what it didn't need. Now i'm no genius but i'm sure it shouldn't do that! Anyway after it had cooled down i headed on my way. All was fine until 2 minutes up the road it started again. Long story short i'm now in ashton bus station waiting for the inspector to come and put some water in my bus because it's short! One trip on a 216 now then home.
Happy memories of the hosepipe and watering can at SHMD Tame Street door for topping up the radiator, many years ago.....and not an inspector in sight.
ReplyDeleteDid that school journey eventually get covered?
ReplyDeleteEventually my bus got to the school but the children had all got the service bus so the answer i suppose is no.
ReplyDeleteTakes me back many years,whilst waiting for the bus,watching drivers topping the old bus radiators with a watering can at the Town Hall Terminus.
