4865 has broken down at The Bell whilst on the 16:25 X51 from Walsall. Bus started having gearbox problems with it losing power and shaking quite a bit...It also smelt like something was burning after the driver had parked it up...

Appeared to be a problem around 530pm ish with 6715.

Saw it parked near the Premier Inn Stourbridge with indicators on. A little while later saw it going up The Thorns with hazards on, doing around 10mph and with its own little convoy.

4862 was towed back to Walsall Garage earlier from Lower Bull Street...

A few hours later, 4868 also broke down on Lower Bull Street after having a problem with the doors...

832 seemed to be broken down at about 08:30 this morning parked up at the Wharsheaf on the Coventry Rd (Dead route back to AG from JLR Shuttles is via the Swan and Wheatshead), it'd presumably have been on its way back to AG.

6823 broken down slap bang in the middle os Lower Parade, has been there for at least 2 hours. RS here about to tow it

Saw 4738 on the back of a tow truck going past WB around 2pm.

Update: The RS driver has been told to take 4228 to YW and NOT WB due to the amount of services buses going in the garage at this time.

4228 has broke down at West Heath island along way from home. According to a driver its eithier a split hose or the boost pump but RS are towing it back to WB shortly after realising the brakes were stuck on at the back. Surely that's withdrawn now.
