(10 Jan 2016, 8:00 pm)mb134 Going to put it in here because it's something I've never seen before:
7518 was on the X21 today, surely they would have had a branded example on a Sunday?!

7518 was parked closest to the depot exit. Plus, it's the highest-spec spare vehicle, so it doesn't make much of an impact if allocated to other services.
(10 Jan 2016, 8:04 pm)mb134 I know, would make far more sense to allocate a branded one though surely?
I can't imagine that, out of a fleet of 16 branded ones, 10 weren't available?
(10 Jan 2016, 9:33 pm)citaro5284 totally agree. Branded should be allocated first.
(10 Jan 2016, 9:35 pm)GX03 SVC It was all branded vehicles this morning. 7518 was brought up as a spare then put on the Sapphires, like any other day.
