{TopoDyn Joyride} Metroline Enviro 400 ZF w/ Nice Axles gets Ragged in Hertfordshire & West London

Following the previous video on a Metroline Enviro 400, this time round and for the first time in near enough 2 years, we have a TE paired with a ZF EcoLife gearbox. This Ex-Edgware motor, TE1098 w/ TopoDyn enabled, is driven at a very fast pace, many moments where the driver accelerated up to 5th gear at full throttle through main roads despite any bends or oncoming cars!... worthy enough for the Joyride Title. It pulls away very nicely and also has some great sounding axles which start to almost 'echo' and 'two-tone' above speeds of 25mph, more commonly heard when there's buildings on either side of the bus and onwards through the video. Aside from the sound this bus handles countless hills through Stanmore and Hertfordshire, as well as ascending Batchworth Hill's 12% gradient, steady in 3rd Gear and revving high which impressed me a lot... and multiple times through the video, the bus is taken up to 40/50mph+ and eventually a section where it reached the 62mph Speed Limiter! Big shoutout to the driver once again, really putting Metroline units on the map! 🫡 Enjoy the video! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 - Intro 00:09 - TopoDyn (1st - 5th) | Incline 00:49 - TopoDyn (2C/2L - 5th) 01:23 - TopoDyn (3rd - 4th) then Downshift (4th - 3rd - 4th) 01:53 - TopoDyn (2C/2L - 5th) up to 43mph | Incline 02:48 - Downshift (6th - 5th) then (5th - 4th - 5th) 03:07 - TopoDyn (1st - 5th) up to 42mph 03:52 - TopoDyn (1st - 4th) then Downshift (4th - 3rd - 4th) | Incline 04:29 - Downshift (5th - 4th) then (4th - 3rd) 04:42 - TopoDyn (3rd - 4th) | Incline 05:19 - Downshift (5th - 4th) x3 06:15 - TopoDyn (3rd - 5th) 06:32 - TopoDyn (1st - 5th) then Slipping Downshift (4th - 3rd - 5th) 07:14 - TopoDyn (2C/2L - 4th) | Hillclimb 07:44 - TopoDyn (3rd - 5th) 08:03 - TopoDyn (2nd - 4th) 08:22 - TopoDyn (1L - 4th) 08:45 - TopoDyn (3rd - 5th) 09:12 - TopoDyn (1st - 4th) then Downshift (3rd - 2nd - 4th) 09:44 - Downshift (5th - 4th) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) | Hillclimb 10:10 - TopoDyn (1st - 5th) up to 46mph then (4th - 5th) 10:59 - TopoDyn (1st - 5th) up to 45mph 11:29 - TopoDyn (1st - 3rd) then (2C/2L - 5th) 12:00 - TopoDyn (4th - 5th) 12:14 - TopoDyn (2C/2L - 3rd) then (2C/2L - 5th) 12:54 - TopoDyn (2nd - 3rd) then Downshift (4th - 3rd - 5th) 13:33 - TopoDyn (3rd - 4th) then (4th - 5th) | 12.2% Hillclimb 14:55 - Double Downshift (6th - 5th - 4th) 15:15 - Downshift (5th - 4th - 6th) up to 51mph 15:42 - Downshift (6th - 5th) then (5th - 4th - 5th) | Incline 16:07 - Downshift (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) then (3rd - 5th) 16:50 - TopoDyn (2C/2L - 4th) 17:00 - Downshift (4th - 3rd - 4th) then (4th - 3rd - 5th) 17:45 - Downshift (6th - 5th) then (5th - 4th - 5th) | Hillclimb 18:14 - TopoDyn (1st - 4th) then Double Downshift (5th - 4th - 3rd - 4th) 19:00 - Downshift (3rd - 2nd - 4th) 19:17 - TopoDyn (2C/2L - 4th) x2 19:51 - TopoDyn (3rd - 4th) then Downshift (4th - 3rd - 4th) 20:12 - TopoDyn (1st - 5th) up to 42mph 20:56 - Downshift (5th - 4th - 5th) up to 42mph 21:33 - Double Downshift (6th - 5th - 4th) 22:02 - TopoDyn (1st - 6th) | 0 - 62mph (Top Speed) 23:11 - TopoDyn (3rd - 6th) up to 51mph 24:03 - TopoDyn (2C/2L - 5th) 24:27 - TopoDyn (3rd - 4th) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owned By: Metroline ComfortDelgro (West) Registration Plate: LK60 AHG Fleetnumber: TE1098 Bodywork: ADL Enviro 400 (10.2m) Engine: Cummins ISBe6.7L (250HP) Chassis: ADL E40D Gearbox/Transmission: ZF EcoLife 6AP-1203B Emissions: Euro 5 trapped to Euro 6 Depot Allocation: Metroline West, Uxbridge (UX) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚪ Follow my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/frozzles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔵 Follow my Instagram:   / frozzles   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for watching, Like & Subscribe! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
