According to my sister, the bus operating the 1803 from Wolves 89 has broken down at New Invention.

She has walked as far as the Mossley junction & caught a 301.

4478 also broke down in Ward End on the 94 at about 09:15 this morning, at the Foley Road stop on the Washwood Heath Road towards the City Centre (2 stops after the Fox and Goose), all the passengers were put onto 4184 on the 70 behind to continue their journey.
The driver said it kept cutting out.
Local Routes

It must have been leaking for ages. When I resumed service in the change bus, I could see the trail of diesel left by 4277 all the way from Town to Castle Vale and back to Aston Uni again

3 breakdowns in 3 days this week, my luck doesn't seem to be in. 4476 packed up on me this afternoon, with some sort of electrical problem. The door button stopped working so had to let people out using the emergency door button, then turned off and isolated the bus, and it wouldn't start again. It started after 5 minutes of turning interior lights and headlights off to not drain the batteries. Then got to the next stop and the exact same thing happened again. Instead it wouldn't restart at all then
