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!
