Damn this is wild. I’ve barely seen any videos of a Voith E400 from Metroline so this just shows that there are not enough drivers like this out there

@@Frozzles Lol, its surprisingly shocking that a ADL Enviro400 Voith can rev so high with no problems but I did hear some Transmission clunking and grinding sounds too but oh well, this was the best video to be honest.

Nice 🔥 Edit: I was driving on the route 96 literally a week ago n I was driving 19744. That bus really pulls in 3rd gear. I was going up the hill between Crayford and Bexleyheath and this bus was just holding in 3rd gear and the revs almost went to 3000rpm. It would have done that but I had to stop at a bus stop near the top of the hill. 19835 is pretty decent too. Had that on the 472 two days ago.

Thanks bro! Yeah I heard there’s a couple nice ones at PD. I’m not surprised these thing do hold their gear for so long up hills, otherwise they’d probably roll down 😂 but yeah that must’ve sounded nice 👌🏾 I think 19861 is also another good one from someone I know there!

@Frozzles The worst one I've driven so far is 19746 and 19799. They're so slow. 19799 pulls off ok until u get to 3rd gear. For some reason they limited the revs so much in 3rd gear so when u reach 20mph it takes so long to get to 30mph.

I've always liked E40D Euro 5 Voith regardless, it sounds satisfying in general, but this is impressive, this shows you that euro 5 e40d engine difference to euro 4 e40d isnt acc that different, its the difference in tune of the axles that confuses your brain. Its just like euro 4 e20d and euro 5 e20d have a small difference in sound

@Frozzles

Only difference in sound from the axles is the high pitch aint there on the E40Ds. And yeah it’s the same engine literally, very minor differences

I mean, I'm lucky when it comes to Euro 5 E400s. Our YX63s here in Yarmouth are all topodyn'd so they go like stink!! This for sure isn't bad, best Voith setup on an E5 E400 by a mile!

@Frozzles

Жыл бұрын

Yeah ZF and TopoDyn always goes nicely! Honestly the setup is bog standard, It’s only because of the little tricks here and there that the driver was doing!

I've never liked newer Voith gearboxes on newer buses but one VDL Pulsar with Arriva North East had been retrofitted with a gear selector meaning 1,2 and 3 could held and the driver managed to redline it all the way to 2500-2700rpm. It sounded so tortured.

The e40ds at Kendal do this but then they are designed for massive hills. Good catch. Was this an RRSS rail replacement?

@Frozzles

Жыл бұрын

Yeah was rail rep

Confused me at first because it sounded like a Stagecoach E400 (probably because 98% of Stagecoach’s buses are voith) but it also sounds like a mix of a regular Enviro 400 (ZF maybe? Sounding like the facelift go ahead e400s). Also that sounds fire 🔥🔥🔥
