4200, air pressure issues on the 246, created quite a decent loading for GRS on the stand behind

Forgot to say a repainted enviro was being towed back to YW, through KH, at around lunchtime. I THINK it was 4730.

4826 had a fitter in attendance about half hour ago at merry hill

1520 sat in the bus stop at the bottom of Park Road in Hagley 8:25 yesterday morning, bonnet up, think it had just been replaced by an SN51 Dart on the 318.

4585 broken down in Wolverhampton Bus station at stand T when I got there at about 16:10. It had been moved to the middle of the station sometime between 16:15 and 16:20 and was still there when I left at 16:25.

It was broken down just on the traffic lights after the Birmingham markets unload only stops that the 35/50 (amongst others) uses. It was causing quite a bit of traffic mid morning in the city. I believe it was on the 35 before it gave up.

@Matt where along the route did it overheat?

4380 I think may have given up in Kings Heath, Vicarage Road down by the park. It had hazards on, and engineer attendance.

I heard the radio that something had broken down by the markets, Use extreme caution

4780 was on the 907 this afternoon. I pulled in behind it to load up, then as it got to the stop by the Childrens, it must have become defective as hazards were on and SNIS on the display (I wonder if this is why 4844 was on the 907)

Spotted an unconscious 4342 flashing her bottom (ok ok, parked up, hazard lights on, and engine door open!) on Wake Green Road in Moseley, as I passed on the 1.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
