I'll start it off with this Stagecoach Manchester Enviro 400 being thrashed, it sounds incredible, as do all Voith Tridents:
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
Local Routes: 21, 89, 48/A, 12/A, 54/A
Semi-local routes: 80, 87

For anyone that loves proper Trident thrashes: http://youtu.be/p2yZg3IRtxk?t=3m24s

I had one almost as good as that on 4542 on the 126 this morning, even in Dudley town centre...

And for a proper Voith bus and the sound of my childhood... http://youtu.be/NAVNNILjLtc?t=1m50s

PE Enviro's stuck in snow @ Colley Gate

The enviros are the worst bus I have ever driven in the snow to much power to the wheels.

Can you not compensate for that by putting your foot on he gas a bit lighter than with other types?

It seems it's all or nothing with them, every other type of bus is pretty good they crawl away except the Mercs which need full power and then the gears move up to second and they pull away.

I assume you can't manually overide the gearbox to pull away in a higher gear then?

You win!  :P. The Mk1s were always my favourite Metrobuses, is there anywhere in the UK that they can still be found?  :-[
