See buses away from home garage thread. Been in Lye for repairs

Forgot there was a Scania dealer near Lye, seems it didn't get very far when they obviously took it for a test run.

4867 broke down in Lower Bull Street at around 16:35 earlier after operating the 51S from King Edwards. Had an air leak, so ended up being towed back around 4 hours later.

It's 4879 - right in the middle of the roundabout - causing traffic chaos

4728 on 35 expired in the right hand filter lane outside the coach station blocking in 6904 behind on the 50. After a delay 6904 reversed and took a detour to get back on route. 30 late at maypole and was then seen heading not in service presumably being adjusted to get back on time.

A 47XX crimson Trident broken down on Smethwick High Street on the 87 heading towards Dudley, right on the traffic lights opposite the jobcentre. Happened about a hour ago.

I didn't see nothing when I passed through not long ago, must've been moved quite quickly.

I would imagine it was moved fairly quickly as it was at the bus stop right by the traffic lights and was causing the traffic to build up.

It definitely was broken down though, the blinds were blank, hazards on and the driver was on the phone, ironically I had just got off it to go to the chemist by my doctors and it seemed fine from the Cape to there.

I saw 4231 being recovered at Solihull Station earlier. It had broken down whilst on the 72.

4856 has decided to break down and block up the whole of Perry Barr.
The bus I'm currently on is due in town at 11:25 but we're still in Perry Barr...
It's not helping that there's a broken down car on Harrier Way.

4855 is currently in Castle Vale!

Not looking for those buses you asked me where they are in Walsall then?

Well it's a price branded E400! Edit: it's 4856.
I am, I'm going to Walsall later today.
Also, one of the of the other buses I asked for is 1889 and it is on the 952, so they aren't in Walsall...

4866 has broken down on Bull Street.
