There was a 14 reg Diamond Streetlite overheated/broken down on the A3400 between Stratford and Henley today parked in a lay-by with bonnet up. I'm not sure what route, if any, it would have been operating round there.

Diamond operate a Stratford - Hockley Heath schools service - 229S - so it could have been on that.

It was 30167 (GN14 LPL) on the 292S school service.

6768 broken down at Boots Walsall, hardly managing to get out of the Bus Station!

Now showing as running DEAD on Bus Times on Willenhall Road/East Park Way towards Wolverhampton.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

Probably very slowly?

I love Walsall buses

#2759
Not sure if you consider this as a breakdown but
1839 had a coolant leak on the 29 and went back to the garage as 1840 replaced it
