5412 was always a problem bus when i was there,had to drive it one day on the 55 to wingate it crawled out onto the A19 at Hutton Henry, Was clear when i pulled out and got to about 20/25mph foot to the floor with waggons and a megabus interdeck
flying up behind me was definitely not safe was quite relived when i got back and seen a citaro for the 2nd trip.lets just say it couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding.
