4290 was noted bost on Holly Lane, Smethwick in the West Brom direction this afternoon. Would have been on the 48 or 129.

A 17 branded Omnilink had it's bonnet up on Moor St, and a recovery van behind it, around 4pm today

[Liberator9]

4334 didn't last long yesterday - came on to the 76 in King's Heath (to replace another Trident broken down up the route I reckon) but 15 minutes later near Robin Hood Island it packed up itself. There was fluid leaking pretty badly out at the back underside of the bus.

4346 broken in Stourbridge.

[Niall]

2104 broken down at Shell Corner on the 241 towards Halesowen. From what I could hear the driver said something that sounded like "... battery light ... overheated ... had to stop"

[nitromatt1]

The "Big Brum Buz" appeared to be broken down with bonnet up on Hereward Rise in Halesowen this afternoon.

Sad thing to read. Would like to know which B10L this was if anyone else knows?

Just seen 1921 getting a helping hand from Mansfield back to Yardley Wood.

@trident4370

Only rode 1921 yesterday as well - sounded healthy then!

[trident4370]

Truth be told @Liberator9 it's the first time I've ever seen an Omnilink broke down (if you don't count door problems!)

[Stuharris 6360]

A while ago went to catch a 27 At YW garage, the B10L came in and was swapped for an Omnilink, think we got 1/2 a mile before it broke down, driver couldn't get enough air !

[Trident 4609]

4548 FTS @ Wolverhampton Bus Station this evening. Was due to work the 20:25 25C. An engineer van came out to assist at 9PM
