There's also the fact that since last year, Thorntons have branded all new Sapphire vehicles might explain why 7536/40 are at Ashington.
If Thornton's brand the Sapphire vehicles - why haven't I seen Pulsars and StreetLites in Ashington depot?
Surely they could have taken them straight to Thornton's without faffing about with them in Ashington depot?
