I'm not sure (I personally had never heard that rumour), but surely Wrights would have replaced the vehicle temporarily, if this was the case - rather than another manufacturer?
That would only ever be done at a last resort too. A vehicle could have been quite easily drafted over to Washington depot from another.
They had an Enviro 200 demo, so why not an Enviro 400 demo?
That's besides the point anyway, as we were discussing why demonstration vehicles are trialled and I gave other examples to back that up too.
