I hate the bell sound!

These vehicles can half shift when the driver floors it, especially the Metroline examples. I think they sound very similar to the LLW class Dennis Lance, LT brought back in 1993/4 for the start of the low floor revolution.

Very fast indeed. Unfortunately the drivers don't tend to drive them like this anymore :(.

@MCWM1199 Yes hey do rather remind me of the old Lance, except that the Dennis Lance had the first gear torque like on the euro2 Tridents and Volvo Olympians.
