It was fine for the the last two times that I was on it, just slow. If it was stuck in one gear for the full route, that suggests to me that the driver had used gear selector buttons to hold it in one gear. There's R N D 2 1 - reverse, neutral, drive -1 holds whatever gear you're in, and 2 lets it change up one gear only, for example a change from 1 to 2 and then no more if I remember correctly.

To be honest Thomas, I thought Id ask you, I openly admit arrows well I can quite easily live without them, but I am much wiser now from your reply. :-)

Haha! :P I used to love the B10Bs before they went, they really were beastly machines. Couldn't beat a good M---PNA or a good N---WVR on the 600! The 610 used to be fully B10B ran back in like 2010...then they went and it became pretty much Arrow run. On one day (if I remember correctly), 30580, 30586 and 30587 were doing the every 610 route all day! :P When all of the Arrows go, I guess it'll just be a waiting game with the B10BLEs then or whatever.
