Slightly surprised they are allocating the Sapphire Enviro 400's, I'd have thought that they'd have duplicated it like they did with the 7 before the E400's arrived. Hopefully Darlington will get some more double deckers for this working rather than make a mockery of the Sapphire brand by putting non Sapphire buses on the 7.
I don't think it will be a long term arrangement but it solves the problem for now.
The flexibility of the college cards being valid through the day should allow the loadings to settle out once the first week or two are out of the way.
Unfortunately to dupe it you need another driver, something that Darlington don't really have!
