I got on 4906 at Sunderland Interchange X7 11:38 to Peterlee, and the bus was leaning quite abit forward to the front and when the driver had the accelator flat down on the floor there was a terrible smell of the engine coming from the back of the bus. Cant see 4906-9 engines lasting long on this service.
