Hot coach

No this is not the usual complaint about excessive heating on Metro coaches.
"Hot coach" refers to a coach that has recieved a power surge from the trolley wires.
The coach is dangerous to touch from the outside so no one can get on or off, but people already inside are safe. After the surge the coach loses power and becomes stranded. A driver on the 49 route infromed me of this this morning as we passed a stranded 4200 series coach. I was also informed that the inbound 49 was rerouted to the "43 wire" due to floooding of the Campus Pkwy underpass at the University Bridge. The flooding was confirmed in person (a minivan appeared stranded).
