Arriva North West 4583 (YX64 VPZ) - ADL Enviro400
Decided to record a recent Hall Green dead run with 4583 from Bickerstaffe to the starting point for my trip back to Southport. I'd been told recently that 4583 had been under the attention of our engineers and it showed as 4583 was driving much better than usual so I decided to get some motorway action at least. 😁

The last of the 8 ex-Chester Sapphire spec deckers, this one had to wait a while for a new engine before coming to Southport. Thanks to said new engine, it may well be the fastest decker I've ever driven! The power delivery is insane and almost instantaneous, allowing for some incredible thrashing. Ideal for yet another dead run to Crosby Islington for the 47s.

Another dead run to Hall Green but at least this time, you'll be able to see what's what. Helps that 4566 is one of our better E400s. *Not sure why the frame rate has tanked on this video. It recorded perfectly fine so I can only assume there was an issue during upload

One of the recently transferred sapphire spec Enviro400s from Chester, which I just happened to have transferred myself! They've been quite popular with drivers for their mostly solid performance, and with passengers for their comfort, large seats upstairs and not-so-rattly nature. 4642 is by all means, arguably the quickest of all the E400s we've brought over, happily managing some 60mph thras...

A rather nice surprise in 2979 was my bus for the dead run to Maghull last week. A nice surprise as normally, this bus isn't particularly great but was driving very well. Sadly, I've only been able to capture sound as my camera mount failed almost immediately. I was going to scrap the footage but decided to make use of the sound. It's better than nothing, right? *8:45 onwards for the really goo...

Guess who's back? 🥳 Yep, after 3 months off work with a shattered elbow, I'm back at it, doing what I do best. This time around, it's a dead run to Woodvale Orchard Lane for the 49s and I had 2959 for it. This bus had been up and down in terms of performance for some time but thankfully, it's a belter of a bus at the moment. So much so, it may well be our best Pulsar at the moment! 😁

The last bus I drove during my loan spell at St Helens belongs to Southport nowadays, and I can safely say it's still as good now as it was then. If only I'd had it for a better dead run. No matter. I still managed to make this bus sing on the dead run from Carr Lane to Canning Road after a day of 46s. *3:07 for an absolutely insane kickdown

    For power, 4644 has always been a rapid vehicle. Until this year, it used to shortshift to the exact same rpm as 4640 (only a lot quicker), but we sorted it out in February following a short loan up the coast to Rhyl. Since then, it’s been an absolute belter, and I’m glad it’s retained all its power. Great video as always Matt!

      @welshbusenthusiast2210 We've been lucky with most of these deckers honestly. There's only 4639 that has been something of a disappointment. The rest vary from half decent to incredible! 4640, 4642, 4644 and 4645 (when it's turbo pipe doesn't keep coming undone 😂) are all insanely quick!

      @ 4639 wasn’t often a good runner down here, at one point it was very quick in the mornings and got slower through the day, but at least you’ve got better! 4640/44 were my personal favourites when they were here.

      @gapthemind--mindthegap8524 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's the track texture and the wheels rolling causing vibrations. It's not the actual train . Sometimes rails are grinded by specialised equipment or a specialised train that grinds tracks. Probably for de rusting. Idk. This leaves a rougher texture. It may also be for the train to grip the track better but again. You'd have to research, your guess is as good as mine.

I have been asking about covering Rail Replacements in the future though and Bootle still have a B7TL which does occasionally see action so I may push for that instead. 😁
