Oh how glad I am to have caught this action from a B9TL on camera!... Just the second bus on the channel from Bexleyheath Bus Garage comes WVL414, part of a batch to have recently been remapped with a good TopoDyn setup! However there is no TopoDyn here 😉 This motor here shifts between 1900 and 2000RPM regardless of gradient, non-hesitant to downshifting and absolutely shoots off the line... leaving no crumbs between 1st & 4th Gear! Not just that but any hill it faced it would scale very easily, occasionally holding it's gear until it felt not to! Various sections in the video do feature some thrilling speeds on the A-Roads. Enough talking... I'd just like to give @KickdownLondon his flowers for his performances each and every time, as well as giving me the opportunity to experience this One of a Kind action from an EcoLife in a double decker, let alone a ZF B9TL!
Enjoy the video!
