This evening in Coventry, 4690's gearbox completely failed whilst on the 12 in belvedere road, Earlsdon. I passed 4690 on 4687 at 22:15 and was still parked there with hazards on and no lights etc. I assume it was waiting to be towed.

You beat me to it.

1670 is blocking Stand C and the Mansfield truck is blocking Stand B.
