The Sapphires in other parts of the country are appearing off route whilst vehicles which aren't to Sapphire spec are being allocated to the Sapphire service.

Indeed, The Shires haven't exactly got theirs working well - Sapphires seem to be on everything but 280s most of the time.

Rhyl - having 2 spares and managing to get all 18 branded examples on the 12 daily, are using theirs spares as spares for both the 12 and 11 (11 is to similar spec as our MAX vehicles).

Of course, just wait until after the Stockton launch - first Friday a Streetlite fails first use check and 1512 ends up starting the day on 5s, opens the chance for the defected one, if defects are sorted by lunchtime, to appear on the extra 7 working.
