Coach 2308 to base one.
00:02
I just had one I've never encountered before at the Fourth Street platform inbound.
00:09
My middle door wouldn't open because it was too low and pushing against the platform, so I'm not sure what's going on with that.
00:18
Like I said, I've never had it be too low there before, so I'm not sure what to do about that.
00:24
I'd be in the same tone as you.
00:26
That was.
00:27
. Base two, possible call.
00:30
So base 22308, little low possibly for the platform.
00:36
So if you can chime in, that'd be great.
00:41

00:44

01:22
You're not leaking air or anything, I'm doubtful.
01:25
We have a suspension issue at heart, so you know, continue on if you're using your other doors, possibly the front door if need be.
01:32
Let me know if that's been, if that keeps you though.
01:35
Will do, and when I get to Fitchburg, I'll check to see if, I don't know if maybe the tire's low?
01:42
I'm not sure if you guys have a sensor on that or not, but I've had this bus all day and I've done like six trips through there and not had any issues.
01:51
The issue of 3rd class is just very strange that happened at that platform.
