The road in the other direction to Bromborough is as steep but in a straight line which means you get a good run at it unless your the unlucky driver that has to stop at the stop by the Childrens Nursery.

It is a good indication to the health of the bus as you say.. Seen many buses fly up and a few not actually make it at all over the years! A lot of the cadets struggle, but 2435/36/37/38 make it no problem. A good quad of cadets those.
