4601 broke down in Walsall Bus Station earlier on the 8/89 stand. It was stood there for a good few hours until the recovery vehicle arrived to pick it up...And then it apparently fell off the recovery vehicle as it was being pulled out of Walsall Bus Station...When I went to get the 20:06 934 home, it was blocking the road and vehicles were having to go slightly into the Bus Station to go around it...

There was a Levante being towed into Coventry's garage this evening, believe it was FJ13ECD.

It was in service today on the 32 I though why the bumber had a little scratch on it

NXWM 4934 bost at the 46 stand at West Brom bus station, doors won't close, being driven round to the parking bays with doors open which I didn't think was possible, unless the engineers can override the interlock
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

4527 on the 72 has a diesel leek (must have been leaking since Solihull, the driver on 6832 has just radioed the company saying it, which I overheard) at the Wheatsheaf.
Edit- Must have been wrong as the bus is carrying on.
