{Limp Mode} Go-Ahead London Enviro 400 Trident ZF ft. Kickdown, Downshifts & Top Speed on Rail Rep

The first ZF-Boxed Enviro 400 Trident from Go-Ahead London to feature on this channel is E112, part of the few Es that had moved from Merton to River Road some months ago. Here it features on a Rail Replacement, involving some lovely motorway sections and open roads! Unfortunately for some this bus did have a lovely glowing emissions light which obviously resulted the bus being in limp mode, but after a few runs it did 'move' a little bit better... however because of limp mode it does really hit the governed rev limit at 100% throttle (Kickdown) before shifting as well as downshifting pretty late in a gear too. Aside from the engine performance this bus is able to reach 62mph, unlike the usual mid 50s from an average E400 trident, so it was definitely a good motor for the M-ways, once it eventually got to that speed! 😂
And sound wise you might just hear a slight Ecomat tone in 1st gear every now and then...
Enjoy the video!

No way the beast of buses dropped another hard banger 😮 This was amazing tbh, like music to my ears!

[@Frozzles]

It’s what I aim to do! 😇 Yeah man despite it not being the fastest you can definitely experience the bus working as hard as it can!

[@BusTrainsGuy18]

The King of Kickdowns never seems to fail to impress me, keep it up man. Hopefully you might catch some 2006 (E) buses on some RRP’s with some good kickdowns.

[@Frozzles]

Good to hear that bro, thanks! And yeah maybe some day

Working the old girl hard. Surprising how long it stays in 4th gear.

[@Frozzles]

Yeah she’s being put through her paces here 😌 I know, it does take a while, especially since it’s in limp

The torque converter locks in 2nd which it usually stays unlocked then locks.

[@Frozzles]

That how it’s meant to be on E400s, they only unlock before locking in 2nd at a light throttle. Similar with omnidekkas

Behaves more like an Ecolife@@Frozzles

[@pengethebluearrow]

I believe E110 is better in my opinion. Before, I rode that bus with kickdown, however it makes a weird wheezing, wind sound when it change gears during kickdown. Unfortunately, I couldn't record it properly due to traffic and boring bus driver, and the wheezing sound was removed once I got the same bus again. But at least E110-114 and E125-126 are ok-ish, unless it gets better if I had a great driver who's in the mood to include kickdowns

[@Frozzles]

If it isn’t limp then of course it would perform better! 🤣

[@spacecowboy151]

I see the video is stitched together now but the edits are just seamless like theres no cut in the audio

[@Frozzles]

Now you know 😌

[@Marlon-bn6sg]

Is this better then a Euro 5 E40D floored tho?

[@Frozzles]

Ehh their good in their own ways 😌

[@eastlancsesteem]

I hope Optares go to rail replacement services.

[@Frozzles]

Not seen one on rail replacement in a while 👀
