29th January

Well it might be a small island but there's always something going on!

Rear suspension collapse(well 2 springs) after hitting a pot hole by the hump,
both a small fork lift and a bigger fork lift(from Hansons) were used to
try and tow it back to the depot while also holding it's rear end up but were no good, couldn't steer the bus!
so i think a recovery team from the mainland is coming over...

or maybe not!
looking out my window i can see a small convoy making its way VERY slowly along Ardbeg Road! (5.30pm)

Ah the drama and challenges. And that bus is going to be behind schedule.

I've heard of kneeling buses, but this is a bit extreme!
My local route uses almost identical buses, except they are a bit longer and more level ;-)

Hitting some pot-holes is like having a front-end collision. Nice documentary.

My, what a collapse. "Bringing people together since 1923", huh?

Good eye on this one.
Hope the people brought an umbrella........
