Another platinum broken down was 6771 in the Dudley direction   correct me if I'm wrong. Lights inside were off and hazards on near the ivy bush.

6771 is 529 branded and has been on the 529 today

Definitely broken down no electrics were on apart from the hazards and no driver in sight

That doesn't mean a thing.

I've left a bus with hazards on/electric off and gone to the shop before whilst waiting time.

Couldn't have been anything major as was going down Cox Street at just after 6.30.
