This Renown found itself stuck on the incline leaving High Spen (heading towards Chopwell) just metres away from another Stricken Renown. However, a Scania L94UB with Wright Solar bodywork (It may have been a B7RLE Eclipse) was able to power past the beleaguered Renown.

I think GNE's drivers deserve a pat on the back for their efforts today, I can't imagine it's an easy job driving buses in these conditions.

The streetlite on the 22 did a valiant job of getting up the hill (pictured above - there's much steeper sections of it) in our village. A good steady crawl. I think being a lightweight bus made the difference. Much as I was wishing for a nice hot E400 to have found its way onto the route, I don't think it would have made it. Husband's entertainment for the afternoon was people getting stuck and having to revise the way they were driving!

Looking through the pics on the Chrimicle website. (Er Chronicle, but I rather like my typo). Sheriff Hill looks quite the bus graveyard. Thinking on, glad we don't have Geminis locally!

Keeping on the subject of stuck buses, this is rather nice. Someone using a 4 by 4 to rescue passengers and take the poor driver a hot drink.
