Not sure if it became a breakdown but whilst I was about to get off 4419 on the 10 I seen a message on the dashboard displaying 'check engine at next stop'

No it wouldn't. A regular message that appears on the dashboard that is very rarely anything thatneeds immediate attention

Just remembered, yesterday evening as I was walking home, I passed 4052 parked up at the stop outside the Inn On The Green in Acocks Green village; it had got there no problems as I saw it from inside Wilkinsons going round the island, but was having some difficulty getting it started again after turning off the engine, as it was making a horrible grating noise as the starter motor was turning. Don't know if they got it going again, but didn't sound at all healthy!

 I was on Arriva Midlands (Telford) 2374 (FJ55 BWD) on Saturday which broke down in Shatterford (near Kidderminster) I knew there was something wrong with that particular bus when I was on it last Wednesday.

in the end we was rescued when Arriva sent 2997 (YJ57 EKE) from Telford

Therefore completing our journey to Kidderminster.

4052 completed all its journeys on the 1 yesterday, and left on time on all of them, so no breakdown
