NXWM 6703 ADL Enviro 400MMC (ZF) YX15OXV
Yes another 49 video. This time seen whilst on loan from Acocks Green to Yardley Wood, is one of the ZF Platinums in 6703. Nothing special this one but being one of my most used routes it was something I wanted to document nonetheless.
This bus was serving route 49: Solihull Station to Rubery Great Park
Via: Solihull Town, Blossomfield, Shirley, Solihull Lodge, Maypole, Druids Heath, Pool Farm, Kings Norton, West Heath and Longbridge.
Filmed in October 2024.

When I previously recorded 4616 it was slipping but was later ‘fixed’ … Here it is operating the 49, it still feels a bit questionable, but rather hellfire sounding nonetheless!

One of the oldest Urbans still on the roads after Transdev’s 1700 is this 2004 example owned by Fowlers Travel but currently on long term loan at Dews Coaches. It had been new to Perryman’s Buses in Berwick, later passing to Delaine as bus 146. Typically well maintained ever since it’s still in fantastic condition for a bus of over 20 years old, showing that here as it’s tested along route 305....

The last Trident in the Grant Palmer Travel fleet was one time Stagecoach London 18246, which I thought had been withdrawn for good, although remains on fleet for now. Although having been mostly restricted to school workings for a while, it found its way onto route 42 for several daytime journeys in recent months, as seen here. Kickdown featuring throughout here, this one has understandably lo...

It’s not often you see an NXWM Omnilink driven this well, but here we see 1913 being tested along the 76. This being one of the Euro 5 variants mostly concentrated at Yardley Wood nowadays, have a deeper engine note to older Omnilinks in the fleet. Saloon view from 10:20 to better hear the Ecomat sounds!

I can confidently say this is one of the best E400MMCs out there, it speaks for itself! 10664 is a random example based at Worksop that has been remapped into the Voith equivalent of power mode, like the Chesterfield Golds except this seems in much better condition.

Today marks the end of Stagecoach Manchester’s commercial operations, with that takes away the ‘TridentEnviros’ that have dominated South Manchester since 2006, and indeed ALX Tridents before that. It’s pleasing to see they are going out in style with several heritage liveries bringing back Stagecoach’s past before all that history is swept away. 19467 here moved to Sheffield’s Holbrook depot i...

Now one of Acocks Green’s final 54 plate Geminis, 4656 is a real delight for the ears. As can be heard there’s an almost constant engine whine similar to 4485, together with a loud retarder and fully functioning kickdown. Seen here on the roundabout 73 route during its final months of service. th-cam.com/video/i08E8n_EQSM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5zLHghEQ1sJ_xm93 This bus was serving route 73: Heartlands ...

Love this ones hoover but its sisters are more powerful
Can confirm definitely not withdrawn - merely back on the reserve fleet at the Biggleswade depot now, with the trainer bus, 105, and 204. Such a great old motor, always love to see FYN in action! 🤩 Great capture here mate, well done! :)
Thanks for confirming, I’d heard it was withdrawn for good when I edited this. As a big Trident this is one I’d wanted to catch for a while, glad to have got a nice extended video even if it’s showing its age!
@EnviroExplorer Yeah, you never know, she may well see service once more! Was always a regular on the 42s back in the day - there's word of it possibly returning soon once more as a mainly Center Parcs/ Schools only bus (albeit likely back on 42s too!)
very nice motor, just wonder who was stood up front ..... didn't realise you were recording at the time though, sorry lol.
Absolutely! Oh don’t worry, I’m more concerned about other people making noise really lol
Such a nice sounding!
Nice one mate! Had a lovely ride with this with nice Kickdowns too!
Ah nice one a ex Halton transport vehicle 😢
Fantastic video of a fantastic bus, this bus actually hasn't been withdrawn, it's in storage and may make an appearance again soon :)
That’s a unique sounding B7TL. Usually these West Midlands Gemini 1s have a ZF gearbox.
The bu05 batch is the only batch of voith gemins at nx the rest are all ZF.
@ very nice
Wow!
Unfortunately now withdrawn
Always knew these had the potential. Superb video
Nice one! Shame this one scrapped.
Last months before goodbye, remember the bell sound of these always horrified me
I love the engine
Great video mate, this bus sounds amazing 😎👍 it's like an ALX Trident 2. interesting it had the engine rebuilt. Glad to see it going so well when you recently filmed this 😃
Thanks, yep it’s an excellent bus this! It will easily be one of the last Tridents in service with National Express given the chance.
@EnviroExplorer that would be great, hopefully they look after it and keep it going as well as this 👍
I'd find it mad to sit on an ALX400 Trident expecting to hear the usual Euro 3 but then hear this driving it, pretty cool!
Yeah we used to have quite a few with this setup but only this one has survived! There definitely wasn’t many others, Metroline TA648 is one which got preserved
Does this still have it original cooling fans or e fans??
@@EllieB1324 as original I believe
Ohh aight thank u cause I saw one of @tridentthroter videos of this one and I heard e fans which could mean they could make it euro 6 in the future
When was the engine replaced on this bus
A while ago, around 2008 I believe
Rapid!
Knackered though it may be, it sounds cool! And hybrids being scrapped feels very strange indeed.
This is probably the most lively voith MMC around at the moment, if they do this to all voith MMCs they would be the best buses post-2015.
Fabulous, I thoroughly enjoyed this! Great to see that one like this has been saved :)
The revs haven't been remapped, it can rev this high even more on neutral but the shifting points have been remapped. This is sick tho, can't wait till more voiths get these remaps
Amazing!
Wow 😮
I love the advert on the back 😂
It's Euro 4
@@StagecoachLE thanks forgot to change that
@EnviroExplorer Np
Nice Fan Whistle
damn, this thing screams
Zf kicks voith bottom
Zf sounds so much nicer
The only ZF tridents in the UK beside NXWM? THATS CRAZY! (NXWMs r supposed to be going soon+ some can be very worn out) so nowhere else has these around the UK, thats insane to grasp, wow time flies 😮
‘Some of’ is the key phrase, others do exist but you’ll be hard pressed to find ZF Euro 3 Tridents in public service yes
How many tridents left with Stagecoach now? they still seem to have loads left scattered across the UK!
@@BusesInDublin still just over a 100 ALXs left! Then there’s all the Euro 3 E400s which is the same amount again, I know more will be withdrawn in January though and throughout 2025, they’ve stayed on longer than anticipated tbh
@EnviroExplorer Impressive!
Given the poor reputation those Abellio Geminis had when they were in London, this B7 appears to be decent all things considered.
@@Busoccultation yep it seemed a bit down on power but wasn’t too bad that considered
Has its fair share of problems 😆
AE55DKD
Brilliant. I love this bus. They do bring back some memories of when I rode them when I was only 5. I do miss them but it is good to see one preserved like this one here.
Why did these get withdrawn?
Oxford buses are being replaced with new Electrics and these are end of life now for what is old technology
Good to see these being as comically shit as ever!!!
Hey enviro really nice catch. Also cooling fan turns on around 11:49 and you can hear it at 12:57
Pretty rare for the fans to be on for this batch, the BU53s(which are almost non existent used to have very loud fans)
Yeah I was actually shocked
Mate u r so lucky as seeing this on 47 is rare. Luckily i got pics of this beast Nice video and happy boxing day
Oh yes we like this!! 😍
Sounds alright, TBF! Better than the ones that came to WoE towards the end of their time 😂
This one’s running with what is believed to be a turbo leak too, so should improve in future!
Nice one! I do miss these Enviro300 but I hope you have a lovely Christmas!
Awesome video!!!
0:45 😮💨
What a beast
Nice one!
Not one of the ones that was well remembered but one of the nicer sounding one's despite it's tiredness.
