The branding has been applied in a mix way - so far confirmed as Red examples are 35501/5/15-7/46-51 (the last 6 having been in use since September as replacements for 35261-6 moving onto the Thorpe Park services). So far noted as Blue examples are 35518-22. Also to note, these examples differ from the original batch delivered last year in having the glazed front pillars and Green Grab Poles internally.
Present rumours suggest Bramley depot's E400s are due to transfer to Halifax depot for use on the 'Zest' 503 between the town and Huddersfield - the current allocation of B7TLs are starting to prove unreliable. A definite transfer from Leeds to Halifax are a number of B9TLs from Hunslet Park - 37123 (YK07 AYY) already reported as transferring.
In addition to the 62 presently being delivered, a further 33 examples are due for delivery in January - these will be 35563-95.
