*Kickdown + Hoover* Bus Journey on the 154 | Optare Olympus (Dennis Trident) | LX58CYG (DOE37)

Back on the route that I typically get the most luck out of, and this was no exception, as just by the look on this driver when approaching, he knew he was running late and needed to get a move on in the latter of this video, and that's how this all happened. With the luck, kickdown was achieved as a bronze standard, with some element of the cooling fan roaring in, but the main point of the video was the lovely redline pullaway at 2:37, which came at a surprise as most drivers don't typically push it that far, so to be getting that really made it up!

Definitely one of the better DOEs of the lot. I pray this doesn't go limp like its counterpart DOE9

[@CascadaTransport]

Definitely is, at least both have got nice ZF's, so that's something on par with them

[@luisstransport]

Great video

[@TEBEnthusiast]

I really need to film these before they get withdrawn.

[@CascadaTransport]

There's plenty of time, the first ones are probably going is around late 2022/ early 2023

[@TEBEnthusiast]

@@CascadaTransport Yep, I plan to film LX09s this week as i can’t lie they are the best Es imo (besides E61) since Idk when they are going

[@xenocloudyt]

I don’t want these buses to get withdrawn they’re cool

[@CascadaTransport]

Well they're due to be slowly withdrawn from the end of this year for new buses, so time is limited.
