Travel Express X292 ABU broken down at the junction of Piper's Row and Bilston Street, making it a bit of a squeeze for buses to get past.

Edit: Posted in the wrong thread, could an Admin move this to the breakdowns one please?

Given the context, that's quite amusing.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Forgot to mention that I saw 868 being given the RS treatment at Stourbridge bus station on Wednesday morning.

The tow truck driver had to be very careful as the vehicle turned left on to Birmingham Street as the back of the bus almost scrapped along the floor, not much clearance at all.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Cheese

6728 failed at Walsall bus station on the 1415 X51 to Birmingham.

DJ

431 is sat at the bus stand in Northfield on the 10S and isn't starting.
