4111 developed a fault somewhere this morning while on Route 73 Me & My Mom got on 4111 in Sheldon and when it got into Solihull that's when the fault must have occured and that was about 10:20 and was still there when we was coming back into Sheldon and that was an hour later 4081 took over it's duties on the 73

Must have fixed the problem, as 4111 was out on the 1 this evening.
My locals:

Wonder why it was there. A West Brom bus never uses New Town Row, unless it was running into Town out of service from somewhere

That's exactly what I thought. He says it was definitely 4521 though and definitely broken down (engine was on display)

Plus a Hansons Dart was broken down in Merry Hill (on the road that the 222/256 use to head up to Brierley Hill), with an Ex-British Gas Transit attending.

You mean the 255? The 256 doesn't go to Merry Hill

Must have been a breakdown on the 66 this morning, only reason I can think of for the 08:06 ex-city not showing up.....
In the meantime though, did notice a bendi parked up on Priory Quensway with smoke pouring out the back, didnt think to get its number though
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

4125 is a Walsall Trident, I think you are getting it mixed up with 4135
