DFRV + Massive Diversion | Arriva London Route 405: Croydon To Redhill To Croydon | HT19 (SK70BVB)

Yes, I know I've visualled this route twice already, but this diversion was so good that it was hard not to! Also, during the diversion, it got REALLY dark since there were no lights to brighten the road, and due to this my phone decided to be dumb and lose focus, as well as drop the quality. So, I decided to bring back location captions to help you know where the route is in the visual. This took me a long time to make, and this obnoxious heat didn't make things any better, so I don't know if I'll use it for future visuals.
London bus route 405 is operated Arriva London South from their South Croydon (TC) garage, allocated with Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC (HT) double deckers. Route 405 runs between Croydon Town Centre and Redhill Bus Station via South Croydon, Pampisford Road, Purley, Reedham, Coulsdon Town, Coulsdon South, Hooley and Merstham. The diversion ran from Purley to Redhill via Kenley, Whyteleafe, Caterham, Godstone, Bletchingley, and Nutfield.

Are you new to this channel? If so, hey, I'm GreaterLondonBuses! Here you will find many transport videos on buses, including visuals, journeys, observations, and occasionally Ibus announcements and blind changes. I rarely do train videos, but I'll do them when I can. I often film multiple videos during the day, but only go out to film at least twice a week, so I upload quite frequently, so feel free to subscribe and give my videos a like if you're interested! Looking at the statistics, about 71% of my viewers aren't subscribed to my channel, lets make that percentage smaller!

Now that’s what you call a diversion

[@thecockerel86]

So the only bit of this drive that conforms to the real 405 route is the Croydon to Purley Cross section, approximately the first 15 minutes of the drive. The rest is simply a drive through the Surrey countryside.

[@plasmauktransport1657]

Nice visual! I’m so glad I was there for this :)

[@LondonTransport466]

Great Video! What a diversion, through many areas not usually served by TFL Buses!

[@northeastlondonbusenthusia1274]

Great visual!

[@TFLLondonBuses75]

Aww I missed the premiere Nice Visual!

[@nykw55]

Thanks we were looking for Croydon one Thanks

[@AsylumicLincoln]

The real routing when? Nice visual and nice choices of music

[@RandomGamer-qy6ys]

Wow!

[@southerntransport466]

Great visual even though I missed it because food

[@PORRRIDGE_GUN]

This route annoys me. The 405 is usuallyblocking faster traffic by sitting in the middle of dual carriageways doing 27mph when I need to get to work in my car.

[@TheBigLemon679]

Biggest diversion ive seen

[@AllAroundTransport]

@TTS - Extras that diversion isn’t currently going on, is it?

[@AllAroundTransport]

@TTS - Extras oh ok, thanks for the info m8!

[@imthetopbanana]

Saying why they were on such a diversion would have been helpful.......

[@ThePleb]

@TTS - Extras I used to drive the X26 and it often took approx 50 minutes (sometimes longer depending on the traffic on the M25) from the start of the diversion at New Malden to the revised destination at Heathrow Terminal 5

[@abdulyonbuses6803]

That a big diverson

[@unknownywuux_bus]

Good

[@TheCaterhamBusGuys]

WHAT A DIVERSION LOL also y did it go that way?

[@southlondoner7169]

Nice one, but I’m pretty sure that 663 doesn’t go that far down Pampisford Road. I’m pretty sure the last stop is Regina Coeli

[@greaterlondonbuses8100]

Oh, my bad 😅

[@AJPlayzOfficial]

Why was it diverted??

[@sajibd1]

Ey arecta aschileo

[@hiimmya1041]

Everyones focused on the main point of the video while I'm just here trying to figure out if 0:20 is peckham bus station or not💀

[@jonathansmith546]

The 177 was in peckham bus garage

[@greaterlondonbuses8100]

It is Peckham :)

[@Dicetor]

Nice visual, but I'm quite sure you got some locations wrong 7:19 Caterham Counts under Croydon 7:40 Whyteleafe Counts under Croydon aswell

[@sespotter4367]

No, Caterham and Upper Warlingham count as Tandridge.

[@scmtuk3662]

The 411 doesn't actually go any further south than Caterham, and thus doesn't serve any part of Godstone at all.

[@Stewieg385]
