Kickdown galore! Mid 2017, Stagecoach 19131 is seen at work on route 61 which runs between Bromley and Chislehurst. The 61 was the best route to get them driven like this, especially in the evenings. I quite liked these buses - slightly easier on the ear than their beastly Euro 3 predecessors, but with all the usual Voith sounds. Gets the F1 tag due to deliberate, rather than incidental triggering of downshifts!
0:01 - full kickdown
0:22 - kickdown with 1-2-1 switch
0:42 - kickdown with 2-3-2-3 shuffle
1:08 - full kickdown with less aggression
1:39 - kickdown with nice 1st gear and 3rd to 2nd downshift
2:00 - 3:10 clip with many downshifts. At 2:39 it shifts down from 4th to 3rd, promptly followed by a downshift from 3rd to 2nd.
The remainder is driving in a similar manner which you may wish to enjoy as background music.
Euro 4 Voith E400s were uncommon in London, only allocated to route 37, 61, 196, 406 and 418. Given their relative scarcity they don't feature much on this channel. For fans of these buses I have another video taken on the 196 with another driver who was hammering it - • [F1] Voith E400 SN06 B...
