I lived in London 18 years, and I've gotta say, these Euro V ZF Citaros have the loudest and the greatest kickdowns of any bus in London. So sad when 227's batch got withdrawn.
I absolutely love driving these, there’s a significant difference between the Euro 4 and 5 ones, we’ve got both here in Plymouth and I must say, even though the Euro 4’s rev much higher, I actually prefer the Euro 5’s behaviour, I wish ours slipped and locked in 1st AND 2nd, ours just slip and lock in 1st and stay locked throughout. Great video as usual!
Can ZF Ecolite's be programmed to slip and lock in 2nd gear?
@@jaggass yes...and u mean ecomat/Ecolife. ecolite are not exists
@@ZackZackZaberdak Yes that's what i mean. Ecomat's to me are the better gearboxes.
Damn ! This kickdown reminds me of most of the bus drivers that have Citaros in Paris ! Almost all of them do some kickdowns!
Great video, those MECs are brilliant!! I’ll miss them when they go :(
Very loud ZF kickdown! Love it!🔥
Hello, I'm Brazilian and here the Mercedes Benz OM 926 LA Euro 5 engine is used. Even changing the engine series, the sound remains almost the same as the previous series.
It's actually a OM906 LA
Great video. ☺️ I love these buses, they're one of my most favourite buses ever built. ☺️
Thanks! I like them too, especially as the Ecomat box is dying a death in London!
@@KickdownLondon I'll miss them. They're my favourite.
Great Kickdown :)
Nice Kickdowns!
Amazing!
Brilliant! 😁
awesome video
Thanks!
Amazing stuff!!
Such an amazing Kickdown and speed-up! I'd really appreciate your ride. I remember that #4416 in Warsaw has usually kickdown, however this was other model.
Awesome video I knew these buses were very powerful it's a shame that they operate on such a slow route tho
Omg🤩🤩
Hello, engine type this bus is Iveco Tector or Cursor?
Awesome video, and kickdowns! If only the actual 108 would get kicked this much, it seems like they’re all snail drivers now matter what time of day it is 😩
Which MEC was it by the way?
Once in a blue moon these escape onto rail replacement - one might be out this Sunday for instance. Forgot to note which one this was!
If it was on a Thameslink route near me then I think I caught that!
@@gloriouswater538 How was it? I hear they're slow on rail?
@@KickdownLondon Both buses I got went pretty fast actually!
@@gloriouswater538 Lucky! There can never be too many Citaro vids on RUclips 😃
was you driving
You ever driving for abellio
Wish i had flat out kickdowns like these but every time i have one its a slow driver
Trust meeeee🤦🏾♂️
That’s why I don’t bother with the 108 anymore. I’d rather try for the MECs at Carousel Buses, they may not always be kicked but at least I’ve got a chance some might be at some point 🤷🏻♂️
It feels like that’ll never happen if I keep trying on the 108 no matter what time of day it is! I don’t know why!
@@ChilternTransportProductions I use the 108 regularly and know the faces and driving styles of the regular late turn drivers! Only a couple will use the kickdown frequently. Sometimes drivers who aren't on the rota do the route and they tend to be the ones who hammer these!
You have to be quite lucky to get a fast driver!
@@KickdownLondon How do I know if a driver will cane it or not?
why is the video cut so much, i also like to hear that the bus brakes and the engine downshifts, too bad. nice sound when accelerating
Will bear in mind for future!
You back at work then? 😉
Work never stops!!
Why can’t they put these back on the bus 507, much better than the poxy electric bus we have on that route
Emissions and it’s a shit route. They’re better off on the 108
Well, the ones that stayed in London. There’s 8 with Carousel Buses in High Wycombe that work routes to Uxbridge and Watford, which are even better than the 108!
507 got withdrawn same with 521
Om906?
Yes, that’s the engine the O530 chassis uses
Yes, that's the one!
Wonder if it was me driving
You take these out on rail replacement?
