Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530G ZF | Ex-Stagecoach LDN (LX04LCC) | Full Kickdown from 0-50mph

Following the rigid version of the 6-Speed ZF Ecomat Citaro in the "0-Top Speed" series is the articulated... LX04 LCC, Ex-Stagecoach London as 23065 in TFL service from 2004 up until 2011! This O530G uses the same engine as the previous rigid Citaro which is the Mercedes OM906hLA outputting 279hp! A bus with that much power that still sounds very calm is something we don't see much, and I'm pretty much sat next to the engine. Being one the 1st Articulated Citaros to roam the streets of London since their mass withdrawal, this was taken from 0-50mph with full kickdown on an SWR Rail Replacement! Such a beast.

I would love to have Euro 5 articulated Citaros on Stagecoach, Go-Ahead, Metrobus, Abellio and even Arriva.

[@gamingthroner]

It’s good you brought this video again, I was wanting to know where this is now,that one day it jumped into replacement with KickdownLondon and no more of it

[@Frozzles]

Yeahh couldn’t leave it in the dust. 😁 It’s still owned by the same company, storage wise is all private information and I have no idea where it is or any info of its activity since that rail replacement

[@KickdownLondon]

It's in the workshop.

[@eastlancsesteem]

Mercedes Benz Citaros look awesome with Stagecoach livery! Having plenty of them from TL, TB and PD would be the best moment of my life!

[@Frozzles]

Very lovely interior!

[@buspictures_nrw]

You have in the description that the bus has the OM457 engine with 348hp, this is unfortunately wrong, the bus has the OM906 engine the engine, which was also only installed in the solo buses. Feel free to listen to the difference from the sound on CZcams ^^

[@Frozzles]

I’ve changed it don’t worry 😃

[@izanity9056]

Why do these sound like E400s 2006 - 2011😂

[@Enviri]
