Na there isn't much difference on them from the others, wouldn't be surprised if all but 5450 (as it's yet to be spotted at Wrights or Heysham docks) are out by early next week on the Durham Diamonds although I'm not sure if 5445, 5448 and 5451 have been delivered yet from Heysham Docks unless they have today. (I'm going by our fleet list)
If they are, it hopefully means the first of the Durham Diamond Citaro's can go for repaint, i don't think 5452 will be out until a few more arrive for the Blaydon Racers though unless they want them out straight away too.
