6739 has operated every journey on running board X51-01 without breaking once.

I apologise for posting this quite late but a few days ago as I was waiting in Erdington, I saw a Gemini which finished its 966 to Erdington, as it approached the stop to begin its Solihull leg of the journey, the hinge which the headlights are on was open (As in instead of facing forward they facing outwards), the driver was seemingly unaware but was made aware after someone told him, he then put on the hazards after which it was grounded.

Damn! Beat me to it  :P :P. Saw it turning on Stratford Road just before I got home at around 14:20.

Diamond Bus Solo KS03EXL was parked up on Brandwood Road with its bonnet up around 10 mins ago when I went past it on the 18.

... And just had to get off 4342 on the 76 in Chinn Brook Road which has just died. Not sure why but going nowhere. Driver did some fiddling with it after everyone had got off, and has coaxed it back into life. Oh well, might make Solihull with no more dramas.

At 11:45 NXWM 4091 was about 200 yards up the road (at the lights), also with its bonnet up and a fairly large puddle coming from underneath.

Think I saw that going along Taylor Road being driven by a fitter. That got a long way then!

1607 on the 19:00 49 West Bromwich to Bearwood, appeared to be very sluggish upon departure which resulted in him coming back round into the bus station and dropping all the passengers back off. Parked back up in the waiting area with driver on phone to garage.

6735 broken down by the bus stop Walsall Road, Beeches Road. It is tilted to the left side. It reminded me the same issue with 4006. :P

Edit: saw it in Walsall at 15:42, it is still low on the left front wheel.
