Kickdown & Top Speed | Arriva Kent Route 190 | GN04 UEB (6412) | Transbus ALX400 Volvo B7TL Voith

Arriva's Gillingham based 6412, a Voith Volvo B7TL ALX400, returns to the channel once again... being the return journey recorded the same time as the previous video! Here with an eager driver at the wheel there is the usage of kickdown on every pullaway, and upon any opportunity to accelerate! Other sections feature the long stretches of road giving enough time to reach the 50mph speed limiter! And I've purposely left in the decelerations from high speed so you can take in the lovely sounds of a Voith B7TL, that being the gearbox and axles!
Enjoy the video!
