VDL DB300 Cruises with Downshifts on RRP | Kickdown | CS_AX

Описание: I thought I would continue living my life having never been on one of the few euro 4 DWs I ain't going all the way to Grays for the DAF equivalent of a trident. The Euro 4s and 5s sound identical anyway but it was nice to catch one eventually. Thankfully these were operating closer to home on the Piccadilly Line rail replacement, presumably to fit infrastructure for the 2024 Tube Stock trains. So these may be seen around especially considering it is already octobor and we still have 09 plates plotted around London. LX09, SN09 Tridents and the remaining LJ09 DWs.
