4481 had teething troubles on the 94 this morning, was beeping merrily from the Fox and all inbound stops plus she kept cutting out but restarted ok. The fans were roaring as well, got to the Saltley Gate stop at 10:00 where I got off and 4482 passed and collected all the passengers off 4481 and went back to garage I presume or was left too cool down before resuming service

Trident 4194

610* broken down on 9 by lye bypass

Not really a breakdown but 7030 cut out every time the bus was stationary. Not really sure what caused it but the driver certainly wasn't having it!

4656 was broken down in Solihull at around 17:00, engine flap open, can't have been that serious though as it was driven off by the driver after over an hour waiting for the engineer, the engineer turned something inside the engine compartment and away it went at around 18:00.
