6756 broke down on Stand B in Walsall Bus Station earlier as it was about to operate the delayed 14:33 X51 to Birmingham. This vehicle hasn't sounded healthy for a while when it starts, and today it wouldn't start at all. Made a loud screeching noise from the back, but wouldn't start. Ended up being towed back in the end around two hours later.

4863 also ended up being taken back to garage at around the same time 6756 was towed back as one of the headlights were out. Was replaced with 6748 for half a trip on the 51.

@I love Walsall buses Both 6722 and 6727 ended up going back out on peak boards in the afternoon. Although judging by another post, 6727 didn't last long in service before having a window smashed by kids in Leamore...
