Sapphire service 7 passengers weren't happy when MPD 1760 turned up this afternoon, especially as it was smaller bus which made me unhappy as everyone piled on the 5A instead. I once had this disappoint in the form of Dart 1611 which really annoyed me as I really wanted to use the WiFi on this day as Stockton Calling were announcing their headliners and because I didn't want to pay to use my mobile internet data, so I had to wait until I got home.

The topic of buses not having enhanced features which were advertised but not provided on Sunday's was debated on here in the past when Go North East launched the Tynedale Xpress X84/X85 where on the first day an MPD was used instead of a Solar with WiFi as advertised. I think this was pinned down to lower costs - I'm not sure if this is still the case on that service. I imagine this happens on the 26A/X66 on a Sunday to keep the running costs down, same with the 2/11/12 in Darlington which use Solos on Sundays instead of EcoCitys.

Also there was 2865 and at least one Solo on the X26/X27 today.
