4891 and 4892 failed today on 8.
4892 standing Trinity Street making funny hissing sound!
4892 has been acting strange for weeks now. I was on him the other week he was hissing then and I said to my friend that he will break down soon as he sounded like 4839 who is possibly being scrapped now due to not being able to be used!

I highly doubt it will be scrapped

Diamond Royale Centro (in black) broke down on the 56 this afternoon in the bus lane just after Perry Barr island inbound. Was there from around half 5 till half 7, (I had done one complete loop on the 33). Second time passing, a Rotala Transit was in attendance

NXWM Spectra

4001 currently being attended to by a Mansfield tow truck on Wednesfield Road heading out of Wolverhampton. It had previously been on a 59 all day board.

4220 broke down on Tuesday at Coventry train station whilst working service 12. Engine flap up and an awful lot of steam coming from the engine. The driver started it and lots of water and coolant came from the engine like a water fall! Every time it was started an awful lot of steam came out of the back!

My stalker Omnilink 7022 was parked up between Solihull Hospital and Solihull Town Centre (coming into Solihull) I assume it broke down as it was there for at least half an hour (10:45-11:15) to be exact when I seen it.
