I was looking out the window at times and the road surface was shocking.
That or 5256 must be worse than 5259 is even round Concord Bus Station it was terrible, although most Omnicity's I've been on shake including Arriva's - they often do on that small stretch of duel carriage way entering Great Burdon (Darlington) on Darlington bound X66's.
I always hate it when I ride these Omnicity's, last time I rode on there was a problem with the wheelchair ramp and two wheelchair users wanted to be on and off between Washington and Durham - left Washington on-time then arrived in Durham around 10 minutes late.
