{Musical} Stagecoach Enviro 400 Trident Voith w/ Kickdown gets Hammered through Lincolnshire

I can't lie this is up there as one of the best sounding buses I've been on and definitely the most ear-pleasing Voith Enviro 400 Trident I've been on hands down! This is Stagecoach East Midlands' 19296, originating from Cambridge serving as a Dual-Door spec Park & Ride vehicle, which has quite an audible Voith whine to it as well a lovely set of axles which do start to properly sing above 30mph. This time round it's not even about volume, just the tones themselves coming from those axles is excellent! Here on Route 53 comes a driver who quite literally only accelerates flat-footed, making use of Kickdown and getting up to speed everywhere... from the residential backroads to the long Lincolnshire stretches. In this video you will meet many downshifts especially between 2nd & 1st Gear... evidently a driver eager to get going after slowing down... as well as many series of Kickdown throughout all gears including a few Top Speed runs. Just like my previous video on 19148, this bus here joins the channel and sets standard! Enjoy the video! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 - Intro 00:10 - Kickdown (1st - 2nd) then (2nd - 1st - 2nd) | Hillclimb 00:45 - Over-Revving Kickdown (3rd - 2nd) | Hillclimb 00:56 - Kickdown (1st - 2nd) then (2nd - 1st - 4th) 01:23 - Kickdown (1st - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd) 01:58 - Kickdown (1st - 2nd) then (3rd - 2nd - 4th) up to 57mph | Top Speed 03:04 - Full Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 4th) 03:21 - Kickdown (1st - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) up to 43mph 04:18 - Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) | 0 - 57mph | Cooling Fan 05:34 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 2nd) then (3rd - 2nd - 4th) 06:18 - Kickdown (1st - 2nd), (2nd - 1st - 2nd) then (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) 06:52 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd), (2nd - 1st - 2nd) then (2nd - 1st - 3rd) 07:34 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 2nd) then (2nd - 3rd) 08:03 - Kickdown (2nd - 3rd), High Revs (3rd - 4th) | Cooling Fan 08:26 - Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) | 0 - 55mph | Cooling Fan 09:44 - Kickdown (3rd - 4th) | Cooling Fan 10:17 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) then (2nd - 4th) up to 52mph 11:09 - Kickdown (1st - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) up to 50mph 11:50 - Light (1st) then Kickdown (2nd - 4th) 12:19 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) 12:42 - Kickdown (1st - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) 13:22 - Full Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 4th) up to 55mph | Incline & Cooling Fan 14:39 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 4th) up to 53mph 15:23 - Kickdown (2nd - 4th) | Cooling Fan 15:57 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) 16:23 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) then (4th - 3rd - 4th) | Cooling Fan 16:51 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) 17:17 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st) then (2nd - 1st - 2nd) x2 17:42 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) then (3rd - 4th) 18:12 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd - 4th) x2 18:42 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) 19:05 - Full Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 4th) 19:40 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) | Incline & Cooling Fan 20:12 - Kickdown (4th - 3rd) x2 then (3rd - 4th) 20:42 - Kickdown (1st) then (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) 21:04 - Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 3rd) then (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) 21:28 - Kickdown (3rd - 2nd - 3rd) then (3rd - 2nd - 4th) | Incline & Cooling Fan 22:13 - Full Kickdown (2nd - 1st - 4th) up to 56mph 23:13 - Kickdown (1st - 2nd) then (2nd - 4th) up to 38mph 23:55 - Kickdown (1st - 3rd), High Revs (3rd - 4th) | Cooling Fan 24:19 - Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) up to 41mph | Incline 25:10 - Kickdown (1st - 3rd), High Revs (3rd - 4th) 25:40 - Full Kickdown (1st - 4th) up to 41mph ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Route 53: Lincoln - Market Rasen (23/10/2023) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owned By: Stagecoach East Midlands Registration Plate: AE07 KYW Fleetnumber: 19296 Bodywork: ADL Enviro 400 (10.8m) Engine: Cummins ISBe6.7L (250HP) Chassis: Dennis Trident 2 Gearbox/Transmission: Voith DIWA 854.5E Emissions: Euro 4 Depot Allocation: Stagecoach East Midlands, Pelham ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚪ Follow my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/frozzles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔵 Follow my Instagram:   / frozzles   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for watching, Like & Subscribe! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
