- Something rather different today (aside from a new intro!) - we temporarily move from the Home Counties and London all the way to Berlin, Germany! I went out here with my Dad whilst he ran the Marathon, and in different times managed to familiarise myself with the local bus types and routes. The M43 runs straight past the Marathon expo at one end of the route and our hotel at the other - so I considered it my target to get a good run on one of these beastly Merc bendies that form the allocation. Don't get me wrong, most Berlin drivers are fast - but it's not easy to get one that presses their foot properly down to get to those higher speeds.
I had to try 8 times, but I finally hit luck with a guy who was due a driver changeover at Treptower Park. By the sight of him running into the station afterwards he was in a bit of a rush - multiple 1-3's were achieved as well as a powerful downshift at one point (4:00). I do like these Citaro's a lot and will probably come back here in a few years time!

New here? I'm SouthernTransportFan, a transport-lover living just to the south of the Greater London boundary. I like mostly buses, exploring both TfL and Countryside services, which I will film in various ways, such as journeys or 'route visual' time lapses, to be uploaded here. Trains and trams also interest me and are filmed at times.

Refreshing to hear a Voith C2 getting driven well, good footage you got there
Glad you liked it :)
Nice ride, you can hear the voith really well and the interior looks great. It seems like you had fun there
Definitely!
Ich liebe den BVG C2 einfach 😃, Kickdowns machen mich nach einem harten Tag einfach glücklich. Da muss ich mein Headset einfach lauter stellen!
Fun ride
Yeah, it was
Crazy Kickdown 🤩🔥
1:14 Habe jetzt erst bemerkt, Das die Hintertür zu knallt, hatte das auch schon ein paar mal mit erlebt. Und ich hatte eben erst einen Rechtschreibfehler in meinem anderen Kommentar bemerkt, habe ihn eben überarbeitet.
Some 49er Citaros have a louder Voith
Did you do visuals in Berlin, they have double decker routes there!
I didn’t see a single decker whilst I was there! But I was staying towards the eastern side, I believe most of the deckers head west vom stadtzentrum
That is my german side coming out a bit, sorry 😂
Try on X69 or X10, you will almost everytime get a Kickdown
Depot: Lichtenberg.
Thank you!
