Just because a bus is parked with hazards on doesn't mean it has broken down. Buses being revenue checked are supposed to put their hazards on while the inspectors are on board to stop another bus pulling up too close behind.

2127 has just left City on it's next journey at 17:57

Spotted an Arriva Dart parked the wrong way on Bloxwich Road right by Forest Lane southbound stop.

I assume he's broken down, as he wouldnt be that stupid to park there anyway!

Well the engineer that was attending to 1835 was also attending to 2127, so there must have been some sort of mechanical problem with the bus?

4907 was broken down at West Heath on a 45 this morning at about 08:25

4842 broke down outside Asda Abbey Park on the 21 (CV)

I don't know what happened to it, but I passed 4818 (on the 914) parked on Kingsbury Road, just past Wheelright Road out of City this evening with its hazards on. 2 people were standing on the grass verge looking at the nearside, so I wonder if he had a window put in. I had his passengers by the look of it as there was a lot of people at the bus stop in front of the bus

Birmingham Central's 4876 has been stood on Moor Street Queensway for about 2 hours. Recovery truck is just arriving.

Arriva Midlands 2275 FL52MML expired on the A491 (just up from Ruby Cantonese) with an engineers van in attendance. It expired an hour early on the traffic lights at the Junction with Vicarage Rd (Corbett Hospital), driver obviously nursed it a little bit further

No, all 14 service journeys ran between 9 & 12 when Hunted is on, it might just have been parked with hazzards on at the Bluebell Drive terminus which hasn't got a lay-bye so to anyone who doesn't know it is a terminus it looks broken down
