4100 gave up on the 11C today by Yardley, leaving nice big puddle of something in the road.

where abouts in Yardley did 4100 breakdown? because I think that's why the slip road was closed off because of spillage

It was parked at the bus stop outside the library, looked like it had tried pulling away and didn't fancy it!

If you are on about one of the A45 slip roads by the Swan centre, the 11 does not use any of those, so that won't be the reason for a closure of one of them

Not a Breakdown as such but a TWM Livery WN Trident (couldn't get fleet number) was involved in a verbal abuse rant in Walsall Bus Station this morning around 9:10-9:15 and I don't know what actually happened but everybody who was on the bus at the time had to get off because something happened on the upper deck and when I was leaving Walsall at 9:15 on 4127 on the 934 the police arrived but I don't know what happened after that

5513 did not have a defect as it went onto the 25.
