When connecting to 7507's WiFi today it displayed a Sapphire login screen rather than the Icomera one, looks much smarter. Are all Sapphire buses displaying this now?I think the Sapphire Streetlites have the Icomera login screen. The 7 has a Sapphire login page.

You were saying....Seriously you've gone back nearly two months for that.

This statement was made months before the Pulsars first arrived and it was well know that the service was getting brand new single deckers and I imagine the confusion of getting double deckers was because a Sapphire Enviro 400 from another Arriva devision to show some important people about the features the Pulsars would have when they arrived.
Since then passenger numbers have grown so Arriva seem to be having a rethink about single deckers on this service and my be replacing them with double deckers.
(25 Sep 2014, 7:32 pm)aureolin wrote Anyone know what the feeling is like within Arriva, of whether the changes to the M'bro - Durham X1 has actually improved anything? My opinion is that it hasn't, with the additional journey at 1715 to M'bro often leaving just behind a late running 1700.
Back to the drawing board?

They say "making your everyday services to (place names) sparkle" rather than just "making your everyday journey sparkle" like the rest of the sapphire services (minus 12 in Wales which has it in English on nearside and Welsh on offside.

Just noticed that they have fleetnumbers inside of them as well, which should be pretty helpful

On a slightly different note, above the two front right seats on the X21/22 E400's (I think only the new ones) there looks like there's some writing in a different language (maybe Welsh?), I'll try and check tomorrow

4653 at Ashington after MAX refurbishment. I'm not too sure on the livery but I think it'll grow on me
Now, just for 4660-4...
(27 Sep 2014, 6:29 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Think you'll find it's 4659 (and the photo doesn't seem to be showing - see attached below)
As for 4660-4, think you'll be waiting a while for them to be done................
