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Just because a bus breaks down doesn't mean it will be straight away withdrawn!

Diamond 20745 broke down at Perry Barr Bus Station after the front nearside wheel came rolling off its wheel arm at around 15:20 today. Was working the 68A/C.

2142 has just expired on the 22 on War Lane, Harborne, apparently with a gearbox issue according to the driver.

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.

4290 broke down this afternoon while on the 38 on Farnborough Road with low coolant alarm. I got onto the Vale with 4291 and was asked to take my bus to him so he could carry on and take 4290 back to garage
