Do you think that ANE will use the MAX X18's or 7511 - 7513 as a backup for the X21 / X22 if there's a Sapphire shortage after 7509 is used? Also, what ones at Ashington are Tachographed and do you think Arriva will order the MMC and for what route.

OI registration on the 'trade' plate is from Belfast, therefore, it seems that the delivery driver comes from WrightBus (or their agents) - ie not Arriva NorthEast staff collecting from the docks.

Proper linked photos - rather than screenshots of Facebook pages you'll find Wink Like Dan asked for earlier

As for the trade plates, bus operators do not go and collect their new stock, the manufacture or a special delivery company delivers them. Alexander Dennis and Optare use a company called Bens Transport based in Leyland Lancashire. I believe Wrightbus do their own deliveries along with any Wright-bodied Volvo products.

I notice that these Streetlite's don't have E-Leather seats unlike the EcoCity's, or if they are E Leather they have no headrests.

This must constitute a problem at times like this when many vehicles have to be delivered at once (due to new registrations in March and September).

So are Eco Vehicles regarded as just standard specification? If so, why do the MAN's have headrests and not the Streetlite's? I guess it was just down to the time they were ordered?
