4539 broke down on the 79 at Darlaston bus station replaced by 4974 branded for the 74 I could only presume it was 4974 because I saw it side of ASDA.

4974 is a WB bus so it wasn't on the 79, it was probably on the 75.
4974 is 74/75 branded.

Looks like 1809 may have had a small engine fire on The Priory Queensway around 4PM. Fire engine behind it and people under thebonnet of the bus

4779 has also broken down at the stop on James Watt Queensway

No I definitely saw a blue branded bus and the 75 doesn't run anymore so 4974 could have been suitable with the old 75 74 link now 74 79 link in wednesbury
