At the risk of being lambasted again and bringing up an old topic... 5212 was more or less at a standstill going up.
It moved once it got to the top, but I witnessed the driver sticking on his hazards for a period, whilst going up the hill - such was the apparent danger/hazard to other road users.
A clever move, as it alerted other drivers to its speed (or lack of).
As I said earlier, the purple Solar comments may have been done to death in some peoples eyes.
Just putting the observation from earlier on of 5212 out there.
on friday i forgot to mention 4969 had problems with overheating while on its 20 duties to Durham you could see steam and water pouring out of the back of the bus
