Скачать или смотреть [F1] Mercedes Citaro BG09 JJY with kickdown - MEC6 (Go-Ahead London)

The 108 is one of my favourite routes. It's a nice, quick way to get between East London to South East London and given the comfort and premium ride quality the Citaro offers, is preferable to the Docklands Light Railway in my view.

This video is tagged in the Formula One Dropouts playlist because the driver's foot was made of solid lead! The dreaded scratching did not feature to any degree on this journey. The first couple of clips are taken between Poplar, Blackwall Tunnel and North Greenwich, where the bus is given a good run. The rest of it, the driver floors it where possible. This driving style is the exception rather than the norm on this route!
