I mean it had broke down earlier at North Birmingham Academy on the school service and yet they allowed it to carry on in service after a complete failure.

Well the electrics wouldn't work and the bus wouldn't start.

Sounds like a flat battery to me. Maybe it was turned off and the master switch was left on, and the interior lights drained the battery so the engineer recharged the battery and it continued on?

845 broken down in Lister Road Dudley earlier on, presumably on the 81.

241 (43**) around 1.10ish couldn't move from stand C at merry hill, every time he tried to pull away it would roll back a bit. 4M had to load at stand D after reversing from behind the 241 and avoiding the X96 at stand G. 4M had one of the centro bus supervisors as a banksman
