Not an unknown occurrence for something like that to happen in this country believe me. Because bus operators on tendered routes are paid for the miles they run and fined for the miles they don't, there is always a lot of pressure to keep vehicles on the road. When I was at work it was a common thing to have arguments with controllers trying to take unfit buses out of the workshop. To make sure this didn't happen it was almost a standard practice to immobilise unfit vehicles, often just by taking the wheels off and leaving them on jacks over the pits.
