The back display has a lot of dead pixels. 5372 is the worst one, it went up the Mill-Inn Bank at 4mph, which is worse than what it did before it got took out of service for months. I would really like to see how 5370/72 would do on the X30 going up that massive bank in Whickham. God help both of them if they ever need to go on the A19 like crawling at 30 MPH.
Is that why 5370 and 5372 seems to be spend an awfully lot of time on the 5/9/26 circuit? I don’t particularly know the South Tyneside routes well, is there no uphill stretches around there? The 60 route I hardly difficult though, just the Mill Inn Bank really - is that too much for them?! Perhaps they might struggle at Heathway too!
