One of Pensnett's MMCs broke down on Manor Lane earlier (i've forgot which one). 6117 and the engineering van arrived about half an hour after I first saw it.

It had a flat tyre, I was supposed to be taking over but had to go to the garage and get a replacement (4776)

Not a breakdown as such, but 4655 was taken out of service on the 31 this morning in Sparkhill, after a passenger was sick on the floor  :-\

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Happened with a drunk passenger on the 50 a couple of months back, the bus didn't seem to return to the garage.

If someone is sick on a bus, it's no longer fit for service, according to National Express, so you'd have to take it back.

The cleaners were quite peed off at AG this morning, also apparently on another occasion, someone was sick, the bus was brought back to garage and swapped. The said bus remained parked overnight with windows/doors shut, and when those doors opened that morning, all bets were off lol

IMO, if someone is sick on a bus, they should be required to pay to have it cleaned up!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

A 487* 934/5/6 branded Enviro400 broke down on the approach to Lancaster Circus this afternoon. Buses had to mount the kerb to pass as it was in lane 2 and taking up a part of lane 1. Traffic was backing up too
