  • I'm still not quite sure if this bus is healthy or not. I can't fault anything else with this particular bus but surely the axles shouldn't be THIS loud on pullaway. It's like a jet airliner starting up.
    Watch the gearbox contemplate life at 2:34
    This bus was serving route 132 to Bexleyheath, Shopping Centre.
    Operator: Go-Ahead London (London Central)
    Fleetnumber: WVL121
    Registration: LX03ECY
    Chassis: Volvo B7TL
    Body: Wright Eclipse Gemini
    Gearbox: Voith 3-speed

    It sounded like a Voith and ZF simultaneously

    Nothing like a singing Voith. I love it when they sound this good :).

      Yeah, that's why I love the 3-speed B7TLs. Have to admit though, I've never heard one this loud before.

    Cool video!!! I love these kinds of B7TL's, shame I didn't film them while I was on the bus myself

      Barely any 3 speed B7TLs left anywhere in the country now! NXWM withdrew their last one, I think Hedingham still have a W reg PVL going, and there's not a lot else that I can think of!

    U’ve never seen RR’s WVL113-117, I can hear a 474 in Beckton from falling gallions reach especially WVL116 and WVL113, loudest vehicle’s ever, I can hear one right now heck you can hear one whilst your shopping in Asda or Lidl

      Been on those, their fans are loud but they don't quite do what the axles on this one do

      Essex Busman-Buses & More he recorded one of the slightly quieter ones, with WVL114 or 117 competing to be the loudest

      TheOriginalGamerHD 114 isn’t loud......

      I have to say them volvos other there are really loud but then again in that area I feel like there's a lot of open space so no wonder why but nevertheless they are really loud tho

      It's Voith - but admittedly doing its best impression of a ZF!

    At 2:34 most Voith buses do this for some reason.

    I think B7TL's have ZF back axles. It used to confuse me when i saw Voith Trident's and said ZF on the hubs then realized why.

    • @BusesinLondon345

      Some Voith MMCs also have ZF hubs, I’ve noticed it on their wheels

      @@shadowstransport8412 B7TL's, Spectra's and E400's are the last buses to have hub reduction axle's. I thought ZF only made gearboxes but like Voith they make allsorts.

      Many of the older Plaxton Presidents had a loud axle as well and sounded like this.

      If anything I think this is louder. DAFs are loud but I rarely ever got one that was insanely loud like this.
