Driving down Bristol Road towards Longbridge at about 8.30 tonight I followed an out of service Green Hybrid which then parked behind a crimson Hybrid (missed fleet number) at the Bournville college stop, guessing that bus must have broken down as odd to see a bus out of service coming out of the city that late in the evening.

A PB Omnilink was having some attendance by an engineer on Beeches Road at around 7:40 this morning outside the swimming baths. Caused a nice long queue of traffic to back up behind it.

4230 broke down on the Bromford Lane at the first stop after crossing the Tybrun Road on the 11A about 20 minutes ago. 4292 behind would have picked up its passengers.
A 28 branded Omnilink broke down in Erdington earlier today as well.

811 had an engine failure whilst at West Brom Bus Station this morning, when I saw it there was oil all over the ground and what looked like a piston lying underneath the bus.

I think Diamond EU06 KOX is currently broke down in Walsall on the 74. Been sat in Walsall for around 30 minutes. 16:05 and 17:05 74 departures didn't turn up in Walsall either.
