Another thing that I've noticed that Ashington's Sapphire service lacks, compared to others (from what I know) is that they lack the "Sapphire" stickers on the driver's doors, again I know it's quite picky, but it is another inconsistency.
Additionally, I was on 7515 the other day and it still retains it's old "Welcome Aboard" sticker, not the MAX ones that most other MAX buses I've seen (again, not Ashington) have. It seems as though Ashington just don't do anything properly...
