6103 failed at Halesowen today at 14.25. Had to get off and transfer to 6104 which was immediately behind.

@JIM H probably my fault having boarded it at Lye Cross :-)

I was just on 2721 (Y361 UON) from Bridgnorth unfortunately it gave the ghost in Madeley due to an ECU problem

P419 EJW

677 looks like she's broken down, hazard lights on and the engine boot was open. Was serving WN 25 to Wolverhampton. Seen it by the bus stop on Lichfield Road roundabout, just before Wednesfield town.

Was on the 42 then in Dudley with a messed up display

Last night 4690 had some kind of problem with the suspension it was violently bouncing all the way to leamington spa, that was fun! The driver phoned the garage but it stopped after he reset the bus.

Looks like 6107 has been swapped for 6115. Bet it was the cab door again.

6107 was in the layover in Halesowen at 15:40

P419 EJW

1453 looks like she's broken down. Sitting by Stand U in Wolverhampton Bus Station with blank number blinds and set the destination blinds like 2 destinations are halfway to give a small blank in between.

P419 EJW

Saw 1419 sitting by Stand U in Wolverhampton Bus Station this afternoon around 17:00. The blinds were set "00 Sorry! Not in Service". I have been told 1419 has been towed back into garage not long ago.

And they probably won't think twice before withdrawing your bus

Not now, no but all B10Ls will be withdrawn soon anyway... Both 1453 and 1475 broke down on seperate occasions last week and I saw them back in service the next day.

1419 was arriving back at WA about half 8ish on a Mansfield truck

4824 dead on Moat Street/Digbeth, in the 2nd lane. Causing a shedload of people to be late. Currently on 4819, which is full to bursting! :o
