Glorious thrash and kickdown! 1294RU (YJ53VBM) 1167 TM Travel DAF DB250 East Lancs Mynellium Voith

Here we have one of the best DAF DB250s I have ever been on flying around Sheffield, sounds wonderful and seems to how gears longer than usual with Kickdown, I haven't edited the video apart from the putting the photo at the start so you can hear as much as possible!

I really do reckon I could listen to this all day. What a beast that is!

[@BritishRail60062]

Nice one and I had to laugh when that Toyota Prius was struggling to overtake, so the driver had to ease off the gas to let it in. Not something you see everyday but that alone just proves how powerful these older buses are and I bet my next pint of beer that these DB250's would smash 80mph if they were not limited by the system they have.

It may have gone faster if the windows were shut

[@BusFan-nu1kd]

Also the Prius isn’t that economical on the dual carriageways or motorways unlike other hybrids or conventional powered vehicles

[@TransbusTrident]

Damm that is the fastest db250 I have seen absolute rocket. Didn't know DB250s could go this fast that is the type of speed expected from a trident.

Voith DB250 is such a nice relaxing chassis I love it over any other voith chassis tbh

Zrzuty (kickdown in reduction): 3:16 5:46 8:13 10:26 FANTASTYCZNE!!! 😍😍😍

[@jamieramsden921]

I've lived in Sheffield all my 33 years and not been on this beautiful machine. I'm definitely missing out on that lovely noise

[@jaggass]

That looks to the fastest DB250 ever and it just wants to keep going until it runs out of road

[@alexeveritt7842]

wow it flies

[@muratboran5088]

What a great video man, thanks! This voith-screams awesome and Prius overtake moment was priceless! :)

[@BusesinLondon345]

I was quite surprised when I heard 4th gear. I thought these only had 3. They do sound much better with 4.

[@LJ07EBP]

only some Mynellium's have them

[@LJ07EBP]

Nah, it brings a B7TL vibe on the 4 gear pitch drop cus its the same ratio and the axles pitch sounding after that im not a fan of too loses the db250 vibe, the only good thing is the bus goes faster

[@wearsidetransport1825]

Some have 3 some have 4

[@jaggass]

@@LJ07EBP Later Spectra's had 4 speed boxes as well.

[@LJ07EBP]

@@jaggass Nice. I Prefer 3 spd as the axle pitch on gear 4 sounds kinda off imo

[@DanielsUKT]

Epic sounding

[@transportofbuckinghamshire2011]

Great video

[@mitchellhurd8958]

Sorry to ask a ridiculous question but is that Sheffield? If so, I assume that bus is a TM Travel vehicle. These sorts of vehicles just beat a Stagecoach MAN ALX300 :)!

[@georgegreenoshine]

Mitchell Hurd yeah it is its coming out the interchange and heading up park way, yeah its a proper beat :)

[@mitchellhurd8958]

Oh I knew it was a TM Travel vehicle as I literally just read your video title if that make sense ;) ! I was thinking about Sheffield just before watching this video. That's a coincidence and a half - don't worry, in recent times whatever I think of is not that long on telly / something like that!

[@johnmills7716]

Tube and surburban trains aren't as lively as that bus. Sounds great as well.

[@membershipofbus]

Where's this city?

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

How come this sounds like 7456?

[@busman252]

Route?

[@georgegreenoshine]

Busman 74 special service for sport event

[@georgegreenoshine]

Busman 74 before most other people got on haha

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Great Video.
