Not sure if this is true seen a post on facebook so taking it with a very large pinch of salt

Someone posted about a bus driver been fined yesterday on the bus station for leave engine running on the bus.

Fined by who?

Fined by who?

If the story is correct than it must have been by one of TfWM's monitoring staff who would check amongst other things that bus station rules are being followed.

They can't fine you only report a incident

They don't usually fine you, they just usually give the driver a bollocking, especially at west brom bus station

Upper deck fire on a First West of England bus in Bristol over weekend. The bus was operating the 2 from Cribbs Causeway to Stockwood. No injuries thankfully. Believed to be arson attack.

exact same bridge as the last one in april coming back from the exact same route,
you'd think they would've atleast told drivers after the first one

Thoughts are with his family and of course to the bus driver and for anyone interested the vehicle involved was Select Bus Service (23, FJ06 ZTG).

Got turned away from Green Lane in Walsall got back home according to WM Travel News this was due to a crash between a bus and a car. I did see an NX New Liveried B7 but wasn't sure if it was involved or just stuck behind the crash

That might explain the heavy queues on both Somerfield Road & Bloxwich Road I saw earlier this afternoon, as I walked to Leamore(Couldn't face Asda Bloxwich again!) but that was roughly 1230pm/1pm.

Yeah I would imagine it would as it was closed between Hospital Street and Raybolds Bridge

(This appeared to have happened 7 December).

I'm guessing this is the "Bushbury incident" being referred to in a different thread.
