There was one on the 47 yesterday as well, didnt catch the fleet number.

The Enviro 400's are playing Havock with traffic sensitive cameras on hill start parts of the 375/385 prime example being the M6 Junction where if they are the first vehicle up hill at the red light due to the slow starting nature of the bus no other vehicle can get through the lights other than the Enviro They really need help with hill starts they seem a little underpowered for hill starts especially when this inconveniences other motorists

What could be causing this problem , as you say SLT highly frustrating to following vehicles to see only a single vehicle get through a set of traffic lights.

I did read a report late last year that route 47 would be MAXed. Maybe it will but Arriva are not confirming it lest Stagecoach get any ideas for an enhanced and upgraded X2 service?

The Enviros seem very slow off the mark on Hill Starts but i've also seen a Finches President cause the same issue at the same set of lights

Then the main cause is probably incompetent setting of the traffic lights.

Rhyl's enviros had their gearbox 'programme' changed to, what is called level 2, it helped greatly with pulling away.
