Diamond Versa broken down in Solihull town centre. Been blocking the town centre for at least an hour. Was good to see buses going the opposite way through for a change, battling against the buses going the correct way!


2 hours later, bus moved; station road opened, poplar to closed in opposite direction. Was ready to be towed away about 7:45/8!

Noticed 2246 earlier today (not long after 11am) parked up at the bus stop on Warwick Road next to Dovehouse Parade, with what looked like smoke coming out the side of it!

Wasn't on fire, as the driver was casually sat in his cab, presumably awaiting recovery. Anyone any ideas?

Passengers said the bus had broke down and driver of 4838 was redirecting passengers onto 4983 behind.
