The KV02s are the best batch of Newport Tridents, all the most musical Personal highlights include: 426 428 440 KN52s are fun but all the same If you have the option dont try 427 very quiet on kickdown, its the most boring but Trident is Trident!

@@ChilternTransportProductions 101 103 104 105 113 115 118 are the 63 plates which have kickdown 130 136 139 are the only Citaro 2s without kickdown All 141-152 (0530s IOM) have kickdown and hold gears We have 2 diffrent types of C2 engines Older 65 plates (ones on the 358, see my numerous videos, these are the quickest ones and the most fun Newer 17 plates, these are more unique but dont sound as nice, nontheless insanely quick when kickdowning not as fast as the 65s Unfortunately we have a RIBAS system here and kickdowning on the 121-140 triggers the harsh acceleration beep so you need a driver who doesnt care about RIBAS- pretty hard to find with management calling drivers in with bad scores- and 20mph although there are a few drivers that dont care- namely an induvidual who is frequently on the 30 between Newport and Cardiff but the 30 is now unfortunately allocated the rare but useless for revs Scania Fencers. In terms of routes its not the best out there. 96 Cardiff-Barry is allocated Citaros, hills going out to Barry and lots of 30/40mph roads when you get to the outskirts of town. 30 Cardiff-Newport if your lucky to get a Citaro towards Cardiff provides open 50mph roads Hills: 57/58 City Centre-Pontprennau, best hills in the network but 20mph, there are fast drivers that havent got much regard uphill and will floor it. 8 of our Citaros are branded for it but the route does get busy 10 of our Citaros are allocated on the 9, a bad route for kickdown but your best bet is the short 30mph section after Grangetown to the south side, 9 is my local so i enjoy the 0530s haha. DO NOT go north of town on the 9 unless the driver is already flooring it. In terms of crowds the 30mph section is the quietest bit. If you are looking for newer engined C2 kickdown (and 2 older engine variants) they operate on the C1 route which can be the "cowboy" take on Cardiff Bus and the drivers..... see my video of MB175 for a lovely canning on 20mph roads. Best bet for kickdown is the hilly section after Albany Road all the way up to Pontprennau, same for the 57/58. What i will say that it wont be easy but its worthwhile. None of our E200s got kickdown, only reason Citaros have them is because they were causing issues with them off. 307 is a E400 MMC with a uprated Topodyn setting The ex RATP omnicities are INSANELY good for kickdown, get them on a decent road and unless you get a really slow driver you can guarantee some kickdowns- this is becaise they are so restricted and slow on the first gear prompting drivers to kickdown. Irizars dont kickdown despite what my video of 782 says- no clue how that was done, i seen a fencer accideantly redline in the first gear There is one @hw8373 who goes out of his way to redline and pump throttles on buses, hope you catch him because thats an instant video. Hes often on Citaros as well and you may hear him redlning around town- mainly to say there ARE drivers that floor buses in cardiff
