Littl'un and I sat, facing forward, over the rear offside wheel arch, with me having the aisle (and button!) seat. I noticed, as we set off along North Road that the bus felt, well, wobbly. My backside, back and feet were all moving in different directions. I did stand up and give my seat a good wobble, since I've been caught out by loose seat pads, before, but it was rock solid, so I can only conclude that the floor itself was unstable. I also noticed some rather worrying tears in the flooring, above the aisle steps.
Call me cautious, but I think it needs checking out, if it hasn't been already.
Ive found that in a lot of Solars and a Omnidekka on occasions and in one Omnidekka the whole engine bay and rear was twisting from the rest of the bus.
I put it down to internal sealing wearing off but you are right, Its a very serious and dangerous thing.
