4296 saved 4523 earlier on Fox Hollies Road on the 11C. 4296 was turned around at the York Pub and headed off towards City via Warwick Road. Must have been adjusted to at least Handsworth for it to take that route.

Just because a bus breaks down doesn't mean it will be straight away withdrawn!

1911 broke down on High Street in City on the 6 as the emergency exit would not properly closed. Caused aload of traffic to cue up behind as 2226 on the 37 and 2244 on another 6 loaded and unloaded. The driver of 1911 moved to the first bus stop on Albert Street so it wouldn't cause a cue.

It sounds like Carrs Lane was well and truly snookered.
