As a few of the Londoners will know, especially those from the South-West, this bus (E38) is known to be a meal relief bus which usually is sat at Morden Station 24/7! However it was appeared to be serving Southern Rail Replacement for one weekend and boy does it perform nicely! I've said this quite a few times already, by this time you should already know Go-Ahead London's (E1-E39) are one of my favourite sounding buses, such a pure sound to them... the loud Voith whine, with the not so growly but still beastly Euro 4 Cummins 6 Cylinder Engine. In this video as you would've acknowledged by the title, there is some kickdown and some maxouts where the bus managed to hit 57mph on the M23 which is the fastest I've gone in one of these so far, wonderful buses...
Enjoy the video!
