I've literally posted that the E200s will be 3501-3528. It's not speculation.

I also can see the Kites will be 3001-3014 for the Midis and 5001-5007 for the full size singles.

It might be for somewhere else but are the new ADL E400MMC's coming now?

Just passed a brand new 26 plate heading North on the A19 near Sunderland in a darker blue similar to the Arriva livery. I know there's a new colour knocking around now.

The first of Blyth’s landed yesterday I believe - 7722 (YY26 FSS).
Whitby’s should also be due shortly.

I believe they hope to have these and the electric BYD's in service by mid June at latest.

Sorry didn't reply was busy yesterday, guess it must've been another one. 

The darker blue (if it was) looks better mind tbf.

I think Uncle Ray has been involved

Worth mentioning as I don’t think we’ve seen it confirmed anywhere (?) that the latest TVCA transport paper suggests Darlington will receive 54 electrics next year, which will ensure the depot is fully electrified.

Seeing branding from other regions including the new Streetdecks for Southend suggests route and/or network branding will be a decent part of Arriva going forwards.

Think everything on delivery now will be in the new darker blue - as should any refurbishments.
From photos I’ve seen however, these E400s have the same interior spec as the BYDs - the Sapphire e-leather trim but oddly with orange handrails.

Just waik past the depo at Redcar there 1st brand new E400MMCs as arrived
