Haven't a clue if this is just got West Mids, but eh.

I was on First Leicester 63350 yesterday. We pulled out the bus station, for the driver to stop in the layover stand and jump out. He then jumped back in, before leaving the bus station in the wrong direction. He then turned back into the bus station and back into the stand we left 2/3 mins before. We then discovered we had an oil leak and we all jumped onto 63354 going the same way, just the other directed circular.

4316 was in Wolverhampton Bus Station at 9.15 pm with two breakdown trucks and a breakdown van in attendance having spilled a load of fluid over the bus station road surface.  Stands L and M were coned off.

Stuharris 6360

was following 6761 on the 22:12 Stourbridge to Wollaston Farm number 8 service and as it got on the ring road, it suddenly jerked and the hazards came on, driver couldn't get power so presume it went into "limp" mode.

Driver took it back to the bus station.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
