Wonder if this year's order will include some newer Sapphires to supplement 7522-7528?

No more Sapphires. Sapphire has been abolished to make way for the new corporate identity.

I'm not sure it'll affect this years orders as they'll be due in the next month or two.

I'm told that Wales' new E400Citys for the Sapphire 1(?) are in the new livery and specification.

Apparently, MAX Omnicity 4646 has just worked the 23 from Hartlepool as far as Peterlee.

7426 (which is on loan to Blyth for hybrid refurbishments) seen on service 1.
