Скачать или смотреть *KICKDOWN* | Journey On Lowish Floor Running Day Route 22 | TP417 (LK03 CFN)

A journey onboard former Metroline TP417 doing the lowish floor running day route 22 between Godstone Green and East Grinstead on 14th July 2024. New to Metroline in 2003, it operated in Perivale and Holloway Garages until 2017 where it went to YMS travel via an ensign sale (though it did get used a few times with ensign) but its stay there was short as it went to Loyalty Connections Coach Travel months later. Preservation started around 2023 (or 2024) but it was one of the buses for a bus driving experience thing (it also attended that event as well) and continues preservation today.

This was one of Metroline's Voith boxed Dennis Trident Plaxton Presidents with the euro 3 Cummins ISCe and 4 speed voith gearbox. Kickdown was enabled as you can see and it was used almost throughout the first half of the video (with some A22 thrash added in after leaving the Godstone area). It was a beautiful thing to ride and would love to ride TP417 again if possible!

This bus was serving the 22 between Godstone Green and East Grinstead via the A22 and Lingfield
