Very Loud Voith!!! Route W5 Western Isles Council VDL SB200 Plaxton Centro B128 (YN07 KGU) 

JNG724 Yep... good bus this is, and it's good having a driver that knows me and is willing to drive like this for the purpose of the video.

Definitely the best footage I have on my channel. Thanks very much for the kind words.

💯

Yup, this bus gone super saiyan lol😅

i think both sound very magnificent

Yeah, it’s a proper beast! Thanks for the kind words too.

Kieran's Bus Vids yep, it's good what you can get to do when you know a driver.

Certainly is!

It is radical!

Donald Macarthur especially in the first minute

North of Scotland Buses just watching this again, we were on it that night! Totally nailed it! Thanks for the video I don’t suppose we will ever have it running so well again! It’s been off the road now for over 2 months but hopefully it will be back soon

Donald Macarthur Yeah, I'm glad we did this that night. I still remember how insanely loud it was. Hopefully we'll get another chance to do it again at some point.

Aye it’s back on the road just now but it’s not as fast as it used to be I think it needs a proper driver for a while to loosen it up a bit 😄

Volvo B7TLs in London are a worthy contender to that

Goes like one too lol.

I know right! I went on it today and boy was it loud, especially after being fueled up.

Exploring North East Buses I've got a Cummins Optare solo being thrashed coming soon

North of Scotland Buses Oh cool Thanks can't wait do like my Cummins Engined Solos.

it will be out tomorrow, hopefully in the morning.

North of Scotland Buses Ok thanks.

I'm a ZF Fan, but that Voith is ENTHUSING!!!

For some reason some Voith gearboxes are really loud and others are whisper quiet. Noticed this across different fleets. Maybe it's just a maintenance thing (oil used and how often it's replaced?) but i could be wrong. This one however sounds like it's about to come apart. Never heard one so loud before

You don’t need to imagine that... This is without the hatch 😂.

@@NorthofScotlandBuses what ya mean, the engine cover hatch at the rear is gone? Or is it interior cover like floor??

Voith transmission in both so there are bound to be similarities

And does VDL use cummins engines?

Griffin Scania yes

Yes, there is only one here and it still see's service most weekdays. It will become a spare vehicle in October and will then become rarer in service though.

Name98073 except this is a lot better.

North of Scotland Buses I agree

Unfortunately this bus has been withdrawn for the last 3 years.

Mark Allan I agree about it sounding better with ZF however I must disagree about it sounding terrible. It's amazing in my opinion.
