4431 broken down at the middle stop on Colmore Row earlier this afternoon. Causing quite s bit of congestion as some buses could not pull into their stops, especially then a 83/9 was laying over, and a 101 was on stand. An engineer came with 4174 (still displaying 97) and got it going again

7 branded 4815 broke down earlier just outside of Five Ways. Was Operating a Rail Replacement from Wolverhampton to Birmingham however an alarm kept going off every five minutes and garage told him to stop as soon as he told them.

There was a BY Omnilink, one of the 17**s - with its hazards on and an engineer in attendance, on Vyse Street (8C side) - around 0830 this morning. Gone by 0900 after a round trip on the 16.

Diamond 30209 broken down in Stone Cross. Rotala van parked behind.

3225. Broken down on Newhall Hill. I presume this caused the MMC/3301 diversion what I mentioned in the Diversions thread? ???

4675 was being hooked up to Mansfield truck on the Soho Rd in Handsworth (11C direction) when I passed at 1:50 this afternoon.

4855 was broken down at Pheasey earlier on PB33. What made me laugh is that the engineer came in 4777 with "Not In Service" "Bus On Route Test" displayed. I know why 4777 had that up, the engineer probably didn't check the blinds.

[Trident 4609]

4551 is/was broken down at Lichfield Rd, Wood End. Was working a 59 at the time. It was there when i went past just before 9am. Don't know if it is still there.

A AG 45** Gemini, 11 Branded was broken down on Stoney Lane at the Yew Tree on the 11C earlier.
