We need drivers like that !!!! And omg that trident sounds is so lovely with turbo screaming and the revv limiter on the 1st gear just what a amazing catch masterpiece

[@Frozzles]

Yep, these E400s are what we are missing 😋

[@aqtrains]

This is probably the best driver I have seen in a long time, I can't believe someone has actually put out the Enviro 400 to the its FULL potential. This is the meaning of a REAL kickdown and thrash.

[@Frozzles]

Yeah this is proper caning

[@eastlancsesteem]

Epic fast driver! London needs drivers like that ASAP!

[@Frozzles]

Very fast driver to say the least, and err I wouldn’t say London ‘needs’ them necessary because ultimately buses are to get you from A to B as safe as possible BUT every now and then some sort of action does cure a bit of boredom 😂😂 Also yeah not long left until most kickdown-enabled buses in London go elsewhere so yeah get em while you can, most of em will still be in other cities/counties for longer though

[@londonbuses4763]

I’m so happy that sullivan buses purchased some of these

[@LJ07EBP]

I love the characteristics of this chassis its satisfying to hear all the somewhat normal high revs then come to this suddenly 10:18 good vibes, sometimes doing all the same revs all the time even high one's makes the journey kinda get boring so I like that.

[@Frozzles]

Very goated bus and chassis, I hope it comes out again to do something that isn’t a school route, like 298 or even 217 Me and multiple people have claimed it’s the best E400 with Sullivan right now

[@aqtrains]

Wow this driver+ E400= the best bus ever.

[@ssjamesakamborpingtonfines9969]

I swear to god that was one of the best runs I've seen🤌🏾

[@Frozzles]

Oh definitely one of the best I’ve had in my opinion

[@mlctv6547]

I swear to god!! These 232V drivers don't let up!!!!!!!!

[@WrightBuster]

Yes the drivers never disappoints! I really recommend doing the V232 and 232 also NP drivers usually floor the route as well as SM drivers!

[@mlctv6547]

@@WrightBuster Yeah I've been on the 232 many times and the drivers are fast but these guys man!! I might go on it on Thursday!!

[@BusTrainsGuy18]

To be honest ADL made the best E400's but it will be sad to see these go when there knackered, but im also hoping to keep some E400's when I have the money to do that and also refurbish them as well and I also want to keep some other childhood buses that I like as well, like the ones from 2004 to 2016. Love the video that keep it up.

[@Frozzles]

Thank you mate, appreciate the love. 🙌🏾😁 And yeah, I’d love to see a good amount of E400s preserved when it’s their time to leave public service. I also agree ADL have the best E400s, Cummins engines perform the best in them

[@BusTrainsGuy18]

@@Frozzles so true, im just hoping when I save enough money to bring back all the childhood buses out there from 2000 to 2017 or 2021, when I become a train driver though I will start planning.

[@bobosei2228]

10:25 damn 😳

[@Frozzles]

Crazy overrev👀👀

[@terry141186]

Makes me wish some of our E400s where the Cummins powered ones rather than all scania that looks like great fun to drive.

[@Frozzles]

Much more enjoyable for sure

[@WrightBuster]

Nice one, I think I had the same driver as you he’s a really friendly guy I must admit!

[@Frozzles]

We both know who we’re talking about 😛 Yep, very friendly, we both joked about what happened near the end of the video after the bus terminated

[@Frozzles]

Thanks btw 🙌🏾👊🏾

[@4fSwagDan999]

This whole video basically sums up my Thrashing Collection... Well, some of it, at least...

[@Frozzles]

😎😎

[@unknownywuux_bus]

Love the thrash love seeing a ex metroline bjs one the 323 brings back memories

[@Frozzles]

Yeahh it really does

[@aqtrains]

I wish the drivers in Birmingham were like this with an ALX400 or an Enviro 400.

[@welshbusenthusiast2210]

Did I hear some tyrespin at 0:27?

[@Frozzles]

Yeah it was 😅, driver pelted it round the corner

[@welshbusenthusiast2210]

Bloody hell, the poor thing being thrown around everywhere. The passengers were probably shocked! 😂

[@londonbuses1027]

Got on this twice and I don’t regret recording twice he’s a friendly driver nice video!

[@Frozzles]

Thank you 🙏🏾😁

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Great video. ☺

[@Frozzles]

Thank you mate 👊🏾

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

[@BritishRail60062]

I wish Belfast would buy some of these.

[@bigadventurewithbuses01]

Nice I subbed

[@Frozzles]

Thank you bro, appreciate it! 👍🏾

[@themidlandsbuses]

Frosty, did you hear that Sullivan buses pulled out of London operations recently?

[@Frozzles]

Yeah I did

[@themidlandsbuses]

@@Frozzlesit’s sad to see independents bullied out of service

[@Frozzles]

@themidlandsbuses Yeah quite a harsh way to go out. It’s obvious TfL don’t want independents in London anymore

[@themidlandsbuses]

@@Frozzles True, it’s every big city / wannabe big city towns that only want the big operators for example : Northampton recently replaced uno with Stagecoach for uni services and tried Revoking a smaller operator’s license but failed. It’s only the smaller towns that have the independents now tbh.

[@garfieldandfriends1]

dayum the driver wasn't going easy on this bus

[@Frozzles]

Truss me 🔥

[@EalingArundel]

I drive this one now on the 298s usually, absolutely fucked now but hopefully it gets fixed in the near future. Great video nontheless

[@Frozzles]

Ooh nice! Yeah, E63 in its prime is a proper beast. Has E44 gotten any better, it’s not been performing like it used to for ages now apparently. (Thanks btw 🙏🏾)

[@frenchboyh31]

Seems like he put it in neutral at 0:56

[@Frozzles]

Sounds like it to be fair

[@LJ07EBP]

No he didn't, ZF just does that on harsh braking the rev goes down to Idle

[@Frozzles]

@@LJ07EBP Fairs

[@nolongeractive366]

Lovely vid! What was happening at 08:00?

[@Frozzles]

Thank you mate! Yeah, The gearbox randomly went straight into neutral, and and the driver tried to accelerate, then the bus stalled. So he had to put it in drive, then neutral then drive again, then we started moving again. I think it was because of how much the bus was being floored beforehand. Honestly the main cause might have been the sharp brake at 00:55

[@ttt20202]

To me it looked like he was trying to undertake by mounting the kerb which is illegal hence the shouty people but f**k me this is one good driver

[@particularly-_-]

DIRT

[@Frozzles]

No cap 😌

[@aqtrains]

Does Sullivan Buses still have these Enviro 400s on the route 232V today?

[@Frozzles]

Nope, they only do Sullivan’s school routes now

[@aqtrains]

@@Frozzles Ahh ok, by the way is it true that abellio has sent there buses to work for "The Green Bus" company?

[@Frozzles]

@@aqtrains I’m not sure

[@stearmaster6.756]

do you need like school ID

[@ag6371]

Same engine as a North American school bus

[@Frozzles]

Oh, that’s interesting To be fair, Cummins engines are from the USA so, that is believable
