2207 was broken down on Bordesley Middleway earlier with what looked like a coolant leak - saw it coming round from Camp Hill with steam coming out the back, and after I crossed the road I could see water pouring out underneath from under the rear hood.

11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

A select enviro200 broke down yesterday in Stourbridge

4622 just in the process of being towed away by an RS Recovery truck from the Harborne High St / Lordwood Rd stop. Leaving a large patch of something green that's been laid to cover what it's deposited all over the road.

Wonder if it's ran its last service at PB as these can't have long left

Spotted a YW Trident (4611?) on the back of an RS truck on the roundabout on Hollywood Bypass.
