Yes, Operating running board 8A-07 (which comes out of garage and starts at 13:40) and completed all the mileage without any incident, so definitely not broken down

YW 6913 broke down on the 3 this morning at the Main Street stop in Sparkbrook. Lucky for me that's the stop before I get off normally. Apparently the driver couldn't get it to start again, despite a couple of 'reboots'.
Looks like it wasn't out of action for too long though, was back in action again 15 minutes later.

7529 broke down while working the X2 service  while bound for Blossomfield via Solihull Town Centre this morning at Jaguar Land Rover Solihull. With a full load of passengers.
All passengers were then transferred/directed onto a already busy 4626 working the 877. Which left JLR very overloaded, and then subsequently picked up more and more passengers at the followng stops.
4626 also made an additional call/stop in Solhull Town Centre for X2 passengers.

The driver later took 7529 up to Solihull out of service to operate the next trip and the bus is out till 23:40 on X2 and late X1's if it lasts the day.
