4844 broke down at the Nechells Parkway, Windsor Street South stop at 19:00 this evening on the 94 while heading towards Chelmsley Wood.
There was an alarm going off on the bus leaving the City Centre and it cut out while at the lights at the end of Jennens Road (crossing the ring road), but the driver restarted it and it cut out again at the next stop.
The driver said it had overheated and all the passengers had to get off and catch the next one - 1827 on the 55.
