'The Beast' 4504 broke down on Bull Street in Birmingham City Centre earlier. I didn't see what it was on as it has "Not In Service" displayed when I arrived, but I suspect it could have been a 33 or 52/A.

It was on the 52 at 14:07 @Michael Bevan and I thought it was quite beastly too!

That's why it's nicknamed 'The Beast'.  ;)

Heading into City on the 65 this evening at Aston Cross, someone says there is sick on the floor. So when I get to The Priory Queensway, I park up and get in touch with the garage. They say go to Central and they will clean it there, and our office will phone ahead. I follow an out of service 14 back to Central, where I'm basically told to pee off and was reversed out of the entrance. I parked up again on the road between the two yards and and then told to come back to Perry Barr and get a change bus. I was missing off the 65 for 70 minutes in the end

4920 broken down at Aston University heading into City. Broken down in the bus stop so buses are now stopping in the middle of the road.

4813 currently broken down by Aston Six Ways. RS Recovery van is on scene so it might have to be towed.

Edit: Looks like it's been fixed now. Just saw it running Dead to do 7/09.
