Followed 6760 out of Dudley towards Pensnett at 15mph and hazards flashing???
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

6810 broken down on Walmley Ash Road. It originally wouldn't start at Asda, but the driver got it to the next stop before going into limp mode and cutting out competely at 21:30.

6123 looked in distress on the 11C in Billesley (Yardley Wood Road) when I went past a little while ago. Parked up at the stop next to the fire station with hazards on, rear engine cover open, still had passengers on board, presumably awaiting transfer onto the next one, rather than standing out in the rain.
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

Something pretty catastrophic has happened to 7024 on the Junction 5 roundabout at Castle Brom, couldn't really work out what but RS in attendance and the road surface looking damaged.

 Great...the one occasion I chose to use the 907 into town instead on the usual X city train and
   what happens?...6824 Cut out completely along the Walsall road at Birchfield (Thursday lunch
time) and coasted  to a halt with no power opposite the old cinema... Needless to say the walsall based services had no intention of stopping and at least one 33 service simply put his foot down leaving the bus and around 20+ passengers, including me, stuck on the pavement. I walked back to the last stop and caught a 51.  >:(
Mind the Gap.....?:-)

4906 broken down on Cotteridge Island, engine cover up and fluid on the road.

7510 on the 907 got as far as Perry Barr park before we were all asked to get off and wait for another bus. Then he drove off and left us. What happened to the days of transferring passengers?
