Serious question. If Arriva were to repace the 57 plate Sapphires, due to the fact that production of the classic E400 will end at somepoint only leaving the MMC, do you think Arriva will do it properly by:
- Replacing Durham / Belmont E400s with the MMC and them alongside 7518 join 7522-7528?
or
- Finding a suitable service for 7522-7528 and then replacing the whole lot?
Don't know what would happen with the 57 plates whether or not the headrests would get retrimmed to MAX and the power console removed with the sockets covered up. The worst ones could just be sold or kept for parts. Obviously, 2x of the best vehicles could be kept as spares.
