From what I got the bus that was meant to do it broke down and had an issue, I was going to have that duty but I had to do something else so wasn't able to swap.

Yh 6846 wouldn't start up.
I think he was going to take 4849 back to the garage at first, but the mechanic was left with a couple of angry & some intoxicated people & then they decided to run it to Ward End only.

Did you have 4880?

I would assume from looking at BusTimes that it actually ran dead to Oldbury, and not in service as a short working.

The destination wouldn't show '-E' back in the other direction.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to QE Hospital | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
