Breakdowns & reliability
(04 Jul 2020, 11:23 am)ne14ne1 Not really a breakdown, but guess it’ll affect reliability for at least one service today... I’ve just seen a green xlines 400mmc travelling south on St James Boulevard with 3 top deck windows smashed

Not a good start for the 8 today, two breakdowns within the space of half an hour.

Here’s a photo posted onto Instagram I saw of the front of 6369.
(05 Oct 2020, 4:21 pm)Andreos1 I saw GNE tweet about an incident at the High Level and I though there was going to be a jumper or something.
Never envisaged a brand new bus rear-ending a car, like it appears to be. https://twitter.com/NELiveTraffic/status...06656?s=09

Hopefully only pride is hurt!

(05 Oct 2020, 9:25 pm)deanmachine At a guess judging where it is, it could have been the car going through a red light on that corner as the bus was coming through, seen near misses there plenty of times myself. Don't see how a bus would end up rear ending someone down there if not someone going through a red light.

(05 Oct 2020, 9:35 pm)Andreos1 In hindsight, I don't think it's for us to speculatenon the forum like this, but I must admit I did try to play detective and try to work out what happened.
Still struggling. Especially when you look at where the car ended up and where the damage is.

(06 Oct 2020, 11:42 pm)Adrian Could have been anything really, but fortunately with the amount of CCTV cameras (internal and external) on a modern bus, it should always result in the correct outcome.

(06 Oct 2020, 11:57 pm)streetdeckfan Or unfortunately if you're the one at fault!
On a slightly related note, I've seen a lot of drivers these days adopting the "I've got a dashcam" mentality of using the horn rather than actually slowing down when they see something happening in front, purely because they have a dashcam that will show them they weren't the cause.

(07 Oct 2020, 9:51 am)Adrian I find that hard to believe. No professional driver in their right mind would deliberately attempt cause an accident, as you have suggested!
If they did, they would likely still be classed as driving without due care and attention. With dashcam footage and telematics data to back that up.
