This brings a whole new meaning to "Late Driver = Thrashy Driver" (mostly). While departing Drummer Street, we were 15 minutes behind schedule. Come to Longstanton, only 2. This driver was determined to keep a good schedule, and beat the shit out of this Euro5 Voith, which at times (mainly off camera) didn't want to respond to the drivers needs. Not helping the fact was a slow BMW in front of us for a few minutes at the start, but our driver still tried his best. Even seen at 10:02 up till 10:58, he tried picking up speed in a tight road with parked cars on either side. Power being shown and forced out of this vehicle while speeding though Bar Hill. Alas, manpower won in the end. Enjoy a compilation of fast take-offs, loud axles, audible retarder, dual carriageway, whistling voith while braking, and hills on Cambridge citi5. You thought this was good? Imagine this a year earlier with Trident/ALX400. That would've been music to my ears
Best Bits:
Small Hill: 0:20
Bar Hill area: 5:00 - 8:19
Loud axles: Pretty Much throughout, extremely loud at 7:35 and 8:30
Downshift followed by speed: 2:45, 8:43
Dual-Carriageway: 4:08
Best best bits: 5:00 - 8:19 (Hilly area), 8:20 - 10:02 (Downshift plus so much speeeeeeeed)
Attempts to go fast but still some good acceleration: 11:00 - End
This bus was AE10 BXY (19609), on route citi5 towards Swavesey.
