They will be getting new branding as well I think, hence why the green one was removed

Sh4318

The branding was removed due to refurbishments and the proposed YW swap, was it not? Although the swap has now been cancelled, so it is the assumption that a new Hagley Road branding will be applied to the Enviros

Not neccessarily a breakdown but 1515 spotted having the common Mercedes bouncy kneel problem, where the bus kneels and then bounces straight back up again, was just holding up Dudley bus station on the 205 whilst the driver got it to raise properly

Nice to see someone in my neck of the woods!! Keep your personal belongings safe, mind you.

4825 does seem too powerful for its own good sometimes!

good day at WB for breakdowns - 9:30 this morning 1599 towed back into garage off the 89, and then 4114 decided to lose all its air pressure by the Horse and Jockey on the Jockey road heading out of Sutton this afternoon about quarter to 4.

guess who was on the one behind.........  >:( >:( >:( >:(
an empty bus is a happy driver.

4276 or near this taken out of service back to garage due to a chicken and chips incident hazard

1477 nearly broke down on the bend in Bradford Place while waiting behind 821 loading on the 45 this afternoon. The driver and an inspector finally got it going again after a few minutes of the engine turning over. I thought it was a push job to get it out of the way!!
