saw it broken down yesterday by albion pub on 59

Stu

There's been a Diamond Solo parked up in Acocks Green village next to the pub for a couple of hours now, I can only presume it is broken down and awaiting recovery, certainly no reason for a Diamond bus to be parked up here at this time of night!
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
