Cab POV: Low-Ish Floor Running Day | Plaxton President - VP614 | Route 22: East Grinstead - Godstone

This time round in the Cab POV series we have the first Plaxton President being VP614. This bus sits on the Volvo B7TL chassis and uses the Voith gearbox, unlike the majority of the the rest of the VP batches that had a ZF gearbox. With some headphones on you should be able to hear the engine obviously the axles... I mean you can't miss them! 😅 As the bus speeds up it sounds better and better! You can also take in the nostalgic Volvo indicators which you just don't hear anymore... in London anyway.

Join us on Route 22 from East Grinstead to Godstone, via Felbridge, Newchapel, Lingfield, Blindley Heath and South Godstone, from the towns to the winding roads featuring the lovely scenery. Shout-out to the driver as well for making this possible, I appreciate the opportunity and definitely enjoyed myself just like last year!

Enjoy the video!
