A tree defector is going to be need on the double deckers, I'm surprised the current decker I am on towards Dudley has its front top deck window still....

There was a young spotter on the 226 with a note pad, seemed happy to get the double decker and was very knowledgeable about buses

Yeah Bob Baker just confirmed it has a intermittent ABS fault and Optare coming on Tuesday to look at it.

21015 KU52 RXS presumably broken down earlier, right on the corner of King Street and Union Street, although traffic was flowing around it. It didn't have any hazards on though until I came back past it 10 minutes later, which seems a bit dangerous.

2. Will the 68A/C be having any improvements soont? The route is in shambles and broke. Very unreliable.

Seems alright recently, strangely ever since the tracker has been active

Fire services have to attend fuel leaks if over a certain amount of spillage has occurred

Was just coming to post about that, saw the RS breakdown vehicle there trying to get it hitched up and completely blocking the Oldbury Road towards Oldbury as it had broken down at the island. We were heading back home on the other side of the road and there were a lot of rather unhappy car drivers! I would imagine it affected the 87 as well, depending how long it took to hitch it up.

This was about 1pm this afternoon.
