Ever since the Sapphire service standards were ditched, and with the standard specification being upgraded to include most features you'd find on a Sapphire bus, most of the special features were ditched, this includes uniforms and the money-back guarantee. Rotas in some places have only Sapphire-trained and uniformed drivers on Sapphire routes, whereas some have changed since. Some drivers also still wear the Sapphire uniform, however most started wearing the standard uniform when a new batch comes in.

New style Sapphire uniforms were delivered in 2016 and early-2017, however with the rebrand this practice was stopped, there is an upcoming new uniform in line with the Arriva rebrand, which from the bits and pieces I've seen, looks smarter than what's currently being used.
