Let me guess, you saw E011 parked up in Sparkbrook by Aldi just after 4pm with it's hazard warning lights on?

If so, it wasn't 'broken down', I can see on BusTimes that it was turned short at Camp Hill Island due to late running, and so would have been sat waiting time to start it's outbound journey on-time.

Please don't automatically assume that any bus parked up somewhere with hazards on is 'broken down'.

I can also see that on arriving in Solihull, the bus did go straight back to garage, but even so a bus that can get back to the garage itself has not technically 'broken down'.
