*Breakdown!* Abellio London 8222 (YX67VEA) working route E7

[@Randomyoutuber3764]

5:21 I love the loud revving sound

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

5:43 lights and cctv cams are turned off

[@ParanxrmalADL]

4:57 the breakdown

[@transportenthusiasta1184]

They should continue with start-stop but maintain it better to function smoothly.

[@benjy4363]

Doesn't sound too healthy for a 67 plate

[@Buses_SE]

I mean I did hear the rattling and booming but apart from that sound like a normal adl e200 engine

[@ryannevery6388]

the way they've geared these is just way too harsh for the engine to possibly cope, a nice gradual climb through the revs would prolong the life of it but kudos to whichever jackass thought that coupling a nice revvy engine to a craptastic gearbox like that needs shooting, couple that to the stupid stop/start tech and buses like this won't last more than a year or two.

[@Transport-Coolfunr]

its an Voith I do believe. Otherwise ZF's are better because the engine can actually cope with it's gear changing peak points

[@BusesinLondon345]

Coolfunr the ZF variants have manual gear selectors so it’s less harsh.

[@domestosbleach8468]

voith gearboxes are crap, they over rev the engine to fuck and then are always harsh on gear changes. zf's are the best gearboxes on the market period as they are smooth, smart with their gear changes and can actuall help a bus along not just strangle the engine to 2500rpm to get 3mph more

[@BusesinLondon345]

This happened in the 130 one time. The description is so true.

[@BusesinLondon345]

I rode this bus on the 130 as it transferred to Beddington with 8220 (YX67VDY) and still sounds the same 7 years later lol. Didn’t break down this time around though thankfully

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

4:58 Oh no now the engine has cut out already and now the bus is going nowhere and now the lights have flicked off

[@BusesinLondon345]

This is common for all E200 MMCs with stop start technology. If drivers start the engine too early after it turns itself off as demonstrated in this video the engine will malfunction and eventually break down, also demonstrated in this video.

[@BensTransport]

Happened twice on me, the one time it did manage to restart

[@LondonTransportGuy]

Where is the breakdown?

[@BusesinLondon345]

At 5:10

[@madmania056]

​@BusesinLondon345 wouldn't.. say breakdown just a minor fault.. it carried on didn't it

[@daltonhaddix9839]

You know you’re in trouble when you hear on the media voice say “fire system pressure OK”

[@Ron_TTE]

No that’s a good thing

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@@Ron_TTE aye

[@charlie8562]

@@SionsTrainVideossions train videos i see you on train videos, didnt expect you here!

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@charlie8562 i liked buses too but not as much

[@NewLERoyUser]

6:10 The passengers gave up with the bus really quickly

[@SionsTrainVideos]

i wonder if they thought oh why did i get off

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@Gumball's record why? give the bus a chance lol

[@transportmerseyside6020]

I have a guess it's to do with the start stop stuff

[@Mongchong_123]

I give this bus another year before it’s completely finished!

[@Buses_SE]

BTW one time I was on the 380 and at pound Park Road right on the hill the bus just broke down for about 10 minutes and another incident happened in 2017 when I was on a single door e200 dart slf and right outside Lewisham tests the lights just switched off and the bus stopped then the bus driver said the bus was resistalaiting I think that's what he said then after three mini the bus was back on the road stage coach and abellio really need to fix their ADLs!

[@elizabethosullivan403]

Can somebody tell the driver to slow down

[@ParanxrmalADL]

6:10 all the passengers: Nah bro im out man

[@thatcarguy4771]

Didn't these buses have a LOT of turbo hose problems? I always hear at least 1 of these a day screaming when the revs get up.

[@halimaabuukar8678]

The driver parking breaks are on.

[@madmania056]

I don't think that was due to the brake

[@chrishines6048]

I was on the bus back in November (2018) and the bus got to the traffic lights and soon as the lights changed to green the clutch on the bus went

[@ParanxrmalADL]

5:20 the biggest rev i hvae everheared

[@kai-matthiasbast8612]

Hahaha the ppl who got off wouldve been so pissed to see the bus theyre walking away from driving again 🤣

[@SionsTrainVideos]

too right

[@AllmannersofShorts481]

The bus Made a rev at 5:21

[@twitch_amazinggamer5142]

Alexander Dennis Made the gearbox on this bus way to revy

[@Transport-Coolfunr]

its an Voith MCC TO be expected I just said to some one Zf's Mcc Are much better on there gear change Peak.

[@halimaabuukar8678]

I went on a bus that brokedown it was W11 at sundry hall s'sanbrais

[@lorddarlo6194]

NXWM have Stop Start Technology on there E400MMC's same engine possibly as these on buses around a 66 plate and they don't have this issue believe they are Voith and ZF Gearboxed examples

[@transport-enthusiast]

5:20 bus turns into a jet engine Me: uhh.. That's normal right? Right???

[@madmania056]

They can sound like that if you rev it hard.. those buses and engines just aren't the best combo.. I don't know to much about the mmc 200s but the e200s are from the sounds of it just as problematic and bad

[@transport-enthusiast]

​@madmania056 yeah a 97 did it the other day I just didn't know when I was younger

[@iuvcalls8565]

Sounds like voith is to blame again

[@jaggass]

Voith's are so shit now.

[@DanielsUKT]

nice bus

[@thatcarguy4771]

Crap idle and stalling... Kinda sounds like a fuel problem

[@rahan573]

It's buses with stop start technology. these types of buses are meant to shut itself off after a while but it's when the driver starts it up to early or something that causes the engine to bugger up.

[@sw_charlie]

Them 2 passengers who got off

[@SionsTrainVideos]

silly people

[@stephaniekouadio9503]

SO FAST 😊

[@temslink2000]

Tbh cos the tech is very new its not gonna be the greatest on the engine cos i see it like turning an old incandessant lightbulb on and off constantly its not gonna do it any good but i know why its being done even if i personally think the effects are that minimal to warrent more engine wear cos companies wanna save on fuel and local govs are adiment it improves emissions (even tho both have very minimal difference)

[@jaggass]

This won't exist in 10 yrs time.

[@ryannevery6388]

Bring back the god damn wright cadets!

[@johnb8956]

Ryan Nevery I say bring back the b10ble. Beautiful bus.

[@ryannevery6388]

William Baker I agree with you, they never should have got rid, especially when they sounded awesome, were more comfortable and drove a lot better than these monstrosities, I do however still think that if they had converted and kept the old Olympians and the mid engined B10M's the roads would have been alive with the sound of roaring Volvos, wouldn't you agree?

[@johnb8956]

Ryan Nevery absolutely, I think it’s mostly to do with efficiency now a few extra miles per tank is more important than anything else nowadays.

[@ryannevery6388]

William Baker who wants extra miles from the tank when you could hear the roar from a Cummins L10? Most old olympians that are still serviceable are used primarily as school buses now but put them back in service and they'll outlast this depicted garbage!

[@johnb8956]

Ryan Nevery the bus companies apparently, now you gat to listen to the atrocious whine of a broken Wrightbus Streetlite, and yes the Olympians and Volvo’s will

[@TransportationFanHU]

London buses are the worst of the world. Please follow Europe's types for example Ikarus, Mercedes, VanHool(also not the best) etc. The best buses are/were Mercedes-Benz, Ikarus.

[@marshall.yt.]

they are just not, i have seen worse buses in India

[@TransportationFanHU]

@freeland IKARUS IS THE BEST FOREVER!!!!!!!!

[@Saturn-z6v]

A 7-year-old bus sounding unhealthy ??

[@elizabethosullivan403]

What is wrong with you driver you need to slow down next time

[@leonblittle226]

This thing sounds like a cheap and nasty heap of crap when it is working. I dunno about these buses but most cars have a S/S override button or switch which would prevent this nonsense.
