Pretty much every WN B6 I go on breaks down... Wonder why?

Name the date and time of the last one?

BU07 LGO

I had 6728 and my doors wouldn't close yesterday, had to switch everything off and try again after 20 mins and it was ok

CL

4542 has it's bonnet up (Not in Service), on Bath Row - seemed to be heading Wolves-bound.

John

4238 in the process of been towed away from the first stop after Perry Barr island. Was on the 52

Alex

1607 has broke down in Scott Arms, I presume it was on a 46 at the time.

And just across the road, 7025 has it's hazards on, and appears as if it broke after pulling away from the stop! It was on the 28
Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

Was on 2207 this morning, which had to be taken out of service, as the driver said the ABS warning light was coming on.

Not strictly a breakdown, as I'm sure there was nothing wrong and it was just a precautionary measure, but explains if anyone saw it parked with its hazards on outside Levines on Warwick Road this morning.

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

Trident 4609

4569 parked with bonnet up and engineer in attendance on the A4124 Lichfield Rd. Should be on the 59

MrBevan2000

Was on 6742 yesterday with @BU07 LGO at the wheel. Just passed Kingstanding Circle we seem to lose power and the EBP warning came on. Also there was a burning smell. So it had to be replaced with 6748.

CL

4167 broken dowm at the Simmons Drive terminus. Engine door up, at least.

Just as we speak, 4159 has come down, Private - as a replacement, I presume. I am currently on 4943.

1644 is now in scrap yard heaven, was withdrawn 06/13 so couldn't have been that.

Could have been 1643 and they got it going again.

4358 appeared to have broken down at the stop after bearwood (from city) at 8pm. I presume by the size of the queue at the stop it was on the 140 i'd just missed.

P419 EJW

4320 broken down in Wolverhampton Bus Station. It is currently being prepared for towing.
