YT51EAY seemed to struggle up that hill between Millburngate and the roundabout where the bus station is when it was the regular bus on the 42/252 round Durham. YT51EAW "The Pink Bus" shook like hell heading over the cobbles at Feethams in Darlington, you thought it was going to drop to pieces. The E200s are alright, had them on the 85 and also the old 16.
Yep, my only issue with the e200s is back ache. They're fine on all the hills the 58 has to negotiate, though. Those older solos crawl up them.
EAY had been taken off by the evening, anyhow. Clearly a last resort for that route
