Sapphire has now been adapted onto a new vehicle type in the fleet. North West are currently refurbishing a batch of ADL Enviro 300's for service 263 Altrincham to Manchester. They look interesting to say the least, first time we have seen an Enviro single deck in the Sapphire brand. Not sure they suit it as well as Pulsars though

May have looked better if they used the blue colour from the rear for the panel under the windscreen and around the headlights, like they are on the Enviro 400's.

The first order for Alexander Dennis's new Enviro400City for outside London are Blackpool-bound - a batch to Blackpool Transport's new 'Palladium' specification are on order for service 9 (Blackpool-Cleveleys). They are the first new double deckers for Blackpool Transport for 10 years, the longest gap in the company's history.

Had a ride into town on my bike this morning as RRS has been going on at Macclesfied station due to Viaduct upgrading in the area and spotted this smart Cityliner. Apparently Mostonian2000 employ a Cityliner and a Skyliner on the contract between Macclefield and Wilmslow. Quite a smart vehicle the Cityliner Mostonian2000 have

Don't suppose anybody knows how long they've got this as I'm heading down to Blackpool next weekend.

It's peculiar that it's being trialled on route 5. The recent upgrade of this service to Citaro operation would suggest it's the route least most in line for new vehicles.
