1875 - Broke down on Lower Bull Street; Door wouldn't close, so everyone got off and ran for the X51 leaving the X56 empty  ::)

I photographed 1875 this morning on the 952 so can't have been on the X56? :P

;D, the 952, X51/X56 run up the Walsall Road, so everyone off the broken down 1875 and filled up the X51 to capacity

I was on 4384 working the 6 this afternoon, at about 15.15, when it failed at the Solihull swimming baths stop.
The driver apologized explaining there was a brakes fault and asked passengers to catch the next following service.

This afternoon, the HC3 was completely missing in Hagley, I wondered why, until I got home off the HC2 and noticed Spectra 204 parked on the Shell garage on Manor Way displaying HC3! A few minutes later it pulled off into the solid Manor Way traffic being driven by an engineer. Olympian 361 eventually came out to pick up the soaking wet kids from Hagley.

168? WB Merc at WB ready to start service 5, but I think something was wrong with the bus as the driver left WB bus Station displaying N.I.S

No 168* mercs at WB. The existing 168*'s are at WN! :) Maybe a 166* or 169*?

1651 was parked in West Brom Bus Station this afternoon with number 5 on the rear and side blinds. I think it replaced 1702 which was taken off the 83, as the same engineer that brought 1651 in took 1702 back to garage

Sorry to be pedantic but apart from 1680 which is at Coventry :)

Completley forgot about 1680 transferring to CV from WN.

Completley forgot about 1680 transferring to CV from WN.

1678 went from WN - CV, 1680 went from PE - WN when the B10L's moved their years ago

That shall teach me to write down the fleet numbers, as I just go off the top of my head most the time

Completely forgot to post 4193 broke down on the 246 yesterday (Sunday) just short of Dudley about 11:55. Luckily close enough for me to leg it to the bus station for the 12pm 244!
