Limp, but being ragged | Hulleys Optare Solo YJ09MHN - route 173

It's fine enough on the flat, but this thing was not happy having to go up even the slightest hill - not ideal when you're in the Peak District! Shame, because the axles sounded pretty good on it.
7:08 driver puts it in first to go up a hill
8:42 approaches another hill and loses all of its speed
This bus was serving route 173 from Castleton to Bakewell.
