Enviro400 LX09 FAO full kickdown to 60mph

#FastRideFridays
Sorry about the video quality - optical image stabiliser was on leave!
Route 57 machine E108 gets a cobweb clearer - has since gone into restricted power mode!

That kickdown at the beginning 👌.

[@CoolDrake910_Official]

This is intense! Nice one!

[@Frozzles]

Nice video bro, I heard some beeping at the start is that the engine overheating noise? I have heard that beeping noise before when I was on an E400 with a really hot engine, so I'm just putting 2 and 2 together, correct me if I wrong though

[@LJ07EBP]

No that's when the driver hasn't started up the bus correctly with the keys I think

[@KickdownLondon]

That beep is the driver monitoring system - it’s supposed to stop when a key is inserted into the terminal.

[@LJ07EBP]

@@KickdownLondon GAL has a few buses with this issue

[@Frozzles]

@@KickdownLondon Ohh, my bad, thanks the info 👍🏾

[@BusesinLondon345]

@@LJ07EBP it’s not an issue, it’s normal practice to insert the key or else you will constantly hear the beeping

[@BabyRosalinaFan82]

I'm curious - when did you make this clip?
I caught this bus two months ago, so I think I've got a taste of its restricted power mode.

[@BusesinLondon345]

This is most likely around 2020/2021 because of the restricted seats

[@lawrencediangana]

Great Video

[@southerntransport466]

Great Kickdown video

Mate this is possibly a world record I would dare for 85MPH on the M25

[@fahadchugs-124]

Is the bus in the motorway or something

[@Mongchong_123]

This must be on the A3 road near Roehampton…

[@KickdownLondon]

Yes it was on the M23

[@Mongchong_123]
