Trident 4609

4579 currently broken down in Wolverhampton bus station being seen to by an engineer

Kevin

1848 (or 1846, forgot now) parked up on Oliver st, Nechells, on the 66. Came past it and realised it technically wasn't broken down, someone had smashed the back windows in
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Won't be 1848. Thats at Walsall branded for the 4

Was it a high backed leather seated Scania, as 1846 is.

When? I was on the 66 passing the other way (not sure on the fleetnumber)

Also, forgot one from Wednesday, saw  4281 (I think - sorry, I'm crap at remembering numbers, really should write things down when I see them) passing Star City on the back of a Mansfield truck

5512 was being looked at by an engineer with the engine up in Wolverhampton Bus Station yesterday

WN's B5s seem to have a few more problems than BC's - can't remember the last time I saw a BC one broken down.

Trident 4609

4012 overheated a total of three times today on the 59 before the driver was eventually instruced to take it back to the garage. 4595 was the replacement bus

Kevin

4331 parked up with its back up at the unload only bus stop on Newton street (city centre) about 8 this morning.

73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

4331 was back in service on the X51 this evening.
1878 broke down on the 4M at around 6pm don't think it was an engine problem could be something with the doors.

4554 broke down on the 255 today.  4591 was also being towed back along the Penn Road by a Mansfield truck.  It wasn't on the 255 today so I'm guessing that it was on the 256/257.

Trident 4609

Think a couple of buses have broke down on the 59 as 1673,2021 and 529 branded 4604 have suddenly appeared on the 59 (Actully 1673 could of been on the peak board but displayed 82 on the back)

Ash

4017 on the 79 in west brom bus station
