When a Scania O-Bahn breaks down and has to be towed to Scania Wingfield it generally means it will be out of action for some time-that has been the case most of the time with these buses-they regularly breakdown.

Depending on the type of problem it could have gone there or even Scania?

834,1007 and1118 have returned to service this morning.
Electric bus 1788 has been off the road for over 2 weeks-this bus has had a very chequered career so far on 98/99 services. It is off the road more than it is on the road.
