RARE & TOPODYN THRASH | Arriva London South T279 (LJ13 CHL) | ADL Enviro 400 / E40D | Route 405

After I missed T42 due to laziness, I was determined to actually get a rare on my local the next time one came up. I had only just come out of the shower before I saw T279 was already at Purley heading south. I got changed and nearly cycled to Merstham Station where I was supposed to lock my bike up before getting the rare to Redhill then back. However, cycling past The Grove, it came round the corner, so I pulled over, got a video of it passing then cycled down to Redhill before locking my bike up there. Now this driver was brilliant, immediately using full revs out of the first stop, making lots of use of the Topodyn software. To get a rare is one thing, but a lead-footed driver on top is another! ---------- T279 (LJ13 CHL) ADL Enviro 400 / E40D ZF (Topodyn Enabled) Euro 5 Arriva London South South Croydon (TC) Depot This bus was serving route 405 Redhill - Croydon Town Centre ---------- New here?

I like mostly buses, exploring both TfL and Countryside services, which I will film in various ways, such as journeys or 'route visual' time lapses, to be uploaded here. Trains and trams also interest me and are filmed at times. If you enjoyed this video - feel free to have a look around at my channel, and if you like what you see why not subscribe!
