As the E400s that are moving from Ashington will probably need a touch up, I imagine that the new buses will be arriving over the next month or so.

I'm lead to believe that the current X21/22 E400's will all be repainted into New Sapphire/Premium Livery ( The Livery that the new MMC's will be in ) Once displaced, Which could explain the lack of tidying up of the current branding.

Also once the New MMC's are in service, It will be likely that all repaints from then on will be in the new Corporate/Variant's, As all current brands will then be Out of date, Or atleast Sapphire and Interurban will be, MAX will stay strong for the near future.
