It did break down in Livery Street as there was a radio call for the 7/46/101 to proceed with caution, with the person on the radio mentioning fleet number 4286

I mean it had broke down earlier at North Birmingham Academy on the school service and yet they allowed it to carry on in service after a complete failure.

Well the electrics wouldn't work and the bus wouldn't start.

Sounds like a flat battery to me. Maybe it was turned off and the master switch was left on, and the interior lights drained the battery so the engineer recharged the battery and it continued on?

Stuharris 6360

845 broken down in Lister Road Dudley earlier on, presumably on the 81.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

241 (43**) around 1.10ish couldn't move from stand C at merry hill, every time he tried to pull away it would roll back a bit. 4M had to load at stand D after reversing from behind the 241 and avoiding the X96 at stand G. 4M had one of the centro bus supervisors as a banksman

The B7TL ALX400 on the A52 has broken down which has resulted that load to come into our bus which has resulted in a totally rammed bus !

Was there since 10am apparantly. Finally towed away about 16:50.

97 branded Trident currently in the middle off the road at Moor Street. Think it needs towing...
