Kickdown & Redlining | SWR Rail Rep | LX04 LCC | Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530G 6-Speed ZF

A very rare sighting in London to say the least..a bendy bus! After they left London in around 2013, you would only see these types of buses elsewhere in the UK or at airports. Well this one has been made local today, running the Southwestern Rail Replacement from Clapham Junction to Kew Bridge, featuring some lovely kickdown usage, throttle pumping and redlines. This Citaro in particular doesn't have an audible ZF but that doesn't ruin the fact it is so powerful and accelerative. Kickdown Usage times are down below!
Enjoy the video!

Shout-out to KickdownLondon for making this journey possible and EnviroTrident for giving me info to get my own journey on this. Their channels are down below:
