Definitely. Both of these demonstrators strike me as odd - Arriva seem to be set on ADL products currently and this year's orders reflect that. 

Possible that Wright want Arriva to return to them and are providing these in order to somehow tempt them? I imagine one of the main UK operators moving their entire order to a rival would have hurt them, or definitely has the potential to do so.

Edit: Dread to think what they'll turn to in a couple of years when the Omnicitys need to be replaced. Hopefully they look at some of the B8RLEs Stagecoach are getting, with the Plaxton coach type bodywork and we avoid another X1 Streetlite nightmare.
