I remember when a red Solar broke down in Chester-le-Street, when the 71 was still in operation... It had come in running really late, so rather than swing around the market place, it turned in between the two traffic islands at the foot of Front Street, then it broke down. They couldn't get it started again, so all of the ''up'' buses were sent along the ''down'' part of the road... Only a couple of minutes before they got it going again (don't know how!) but it did cause quite a fuss!
