*MAXED OUT* ex Arriva Wales Enviro 400 with Thrash & High Speeds ft. Arriva Merseyside 4638 CX15 BXO

Here I present to you something completely different to my usual video themes. This time we have an Arriva vehicle, a 2015 Sapphire branded E400 which transferred from Wales to Merseyside about a week ago.
Aside from the Stagecoach CNL videos, I couldn't provide the Voith kickdown type of video I'm famous for however this ZF gearbox is seen with a driver eager to finish his last run, maxing out the bus on Formby Bypass and putting his "foot to the floor."
Some day I would like to video a good Arriva run however with several trips to Merseyside, it has been difficult. Despite this, I managed to get a decent video of this recent transfer. For now.
Timings:

01:45 - Foot-to-Floor/High Speed

Nice one mate, glad to see this one is decent! It’s had ups and downs at Chester, but it’s definitely better now. Hope to see more!

Thanks! Yeah I was told this was one of the better ones that moved to Southport so it was just by luck I had it haha. I'll be making more returns to Merseyside to film similar videos in the future!

@@himinui Glad you made it for a good one! If you want some advice, avoid 4639, that is the slowest of the lot and at one point, it took 2 minutes 10 seconds to do a 1-6 with the driver’s foot to the floor. I don’t think it’s that bad now, but it was very slow the day before leaving here. Can’t wait to see more videos in Liverpool! Is there anything you’d recommend in the area?

@@busmadperson5079 Yeah, it has been for a while. I saw it on Friday and it came into Queen Square rather slow. How bad is it?

​@@welshbusenthusiast22104638 did appear quite sluggish if I'm honest and had quite a few lights on its dash. I was more hoping for a YX/DK 64 on that run
