What was 4157 doing in Longbridge, doesn't it sport Alum Rock branding, or am I behind the times?

To be fair it is my fault as it should've only been posted in one topic.. [or has that gone now the post count has gone?..]

It was on the 24 in the morning... Anyways, 4157 aside, there was a broken down trident (from a 23A service, presumably) on Westbourne Road, and near Quinton Tesco, 540* was a few feet away from the bus stop, with no sign of electricity whatsoever!

That 540* is the one I saw on a Mansfield on the Bristol!

I wonder what happened to it! I only saw it from the opposite side of the road... I'd say - most likely - an electricity malfunction, or somewhere along the lines of that.

It was 5404 that was dead as a dormouse by Quinton Tesco this morning.

engineer started it with the battery pack and took it back to garage, leaving me as i said with 818 and a standing load from Sutton.

[Trident 4609]

4554 appeared to break down at WN bus Station this afternoon parked in Stand U for at least 50 minutes before being. Taken back to garage. 2071 replaced it on the 255

Also I was told by a driver on the 59 this morning that the trident he had was defective so it was replaced with another trident which was called back by the garage due to a leak so 4002 was sent out to replace it
