NX 4936 currently parked with hazards flashing on Cuckoo bridge, about 20 yards from the Lichfield Rd lights

On its way back to garage, completed its duty on the 38 route nearly an hour late due to traffic, bit unlucky on that driver if it did break down that close to garage

Too far away to ID exactly, but from my window I can see there's been an Omnilink parked up at the 37 stop in Acocks Green village with its hazards on for at least an hour-and-half now. Buses towards Birmingham are having to use the 36/40 stop, as the 37 stop is blocked as a result.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

4763 has expired on Bull St, people climbing underneath the engine and it was being topped up with (I think) coolant about 15 mins ago

Also, Diamond Centro 30804 was dead on the Priory Queensway about 1pm. Engineering van in attendance.

4486 had a problem on the 7 his afternoon, an Engineer attended to it at Perry Common. Meant it was 30 minutes late for me to take over on the 7

Then I was pulled off the 7 to run the 907A from College High to City, so I don't know if a 907 broke down or was deffective. We seem to still be short of buses, I guess due to some of the Artics been off the road

Just saw NX4737 parked up on Northgate facing towards Aldridge (just after Walton Road junction) displaying 159C with Hazards flashing and what I guess was an engineers van in attendance
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

Look at it from a scale perspective. ..one wolves bus failing would be the equivalent of probably something like four cannock buses breaking down in a day......
