Unidentified Trident about to be towed from Dudley bus station, fairly recently refurbed so could quite possibly have been 4538 again

Not 4538 as it was refurbished some time ago

4538 worked the 1505 27A from Dudley so would have been back in Dudley around 17:00. It was looking very nice today, sparkling even.

Was interesting at Gornal this morning there were two white vans there with men working on it!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

AG 7022 taken out of service off the 37 in Sparkbrook, at the Warwick Road/Stratford Road junction, around 11:30am, due to a problem with the brakes  :o

Full load had to get off and wait for next bus, lucky for me I was only going to the next stop anyway!

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

Diamond Cadet 'YD02 PZJ' broke down on the 56 tonight on Aldridge Road outbound (looked like front offside tyre was been changed). It was there for over an hour as I passed it city bound and Pheasey bound, and then drove past it coming home
