Something similar happened to me, it wasn't on a hill though. Wright Gemini 1 just broke down in the middle of the street, driver managed to start her back up though so it was all good.
Same actually it was quite a sight probably once in a full moon and I'm not sure of the fleet but I will do some scanning through the photos I took and check for you
ManchesterBusPhotography it seems to be a lot better now. Caught it the other day and it seemed very smooth, they’ve turned this one around. About time!
This happend to stagecoach envrio 400 bus 19104 once and then went into limp mode at high rev down a bypass

I believe it’s clutch that has causing a problem with that double decker bus
either that or gearbox
Was the bus jammed in 1st gear and unable to change gear that the reason why it’s slipping out of gear
Actually it did not break down. It refuses to go uphill.
The bus broke down.
@@TransportWithDee Really? Did the engine stop and had to start again or did it refuse to start at first?
I thought Volvo B9TL Wright Geminis where quite reliable I've never had one brake down on me but not good which one was it

Looks like the bus has disabled itself on the hill and not go any further
Yes I think this was the case
ManchesterBusPhotography yeah
Wrightbus breaking down in tears 💔😭
Eesh I know its sooo upsetting😵
@@TransportWithDee Good news! Wrightbus was saved by JCB
hopefully the bus fell down and rammed into every car falling down the hill
@@ld_713 lmao
Hello the Go-Ahead mpire, I’m finding you here too!
That’s 37454! Does this all the time!!
Thanks for letting me know because I'll try to get this bus again sometime in the future

Looking into my archive it was 37459
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a loss of air with this bus.
Stuck in 1st gear on a hill...worst case there
That doesn’t sound good when it breaks down on the hill section and holding up the traffic behind it
It was a rare experience bus you could tell the bus was going to break from when I got on it and it was slipping out of gear
ManchesterBusPhotography yeah I can see that mate
it looks like a Gemini 1 but sounds like a Gemini 2 it sounds like a B9TL engine
Yep this was a Gemini1 with a B9TL engine indeed and I love the Gemini3s they are quite smooth actually and designed well
@@TransportWithDee never knew B9TL was that old
Not good when it breaks down
Ino but it was nice to listen to
