The Arriva Max brand is being scrapped. The Sapphire livery is being revised

Glad to hear that. I'm a big fan of Sapphire, however I think Max is pointless, since it's just standard Arriva spec.
Thanks for that info Big Grin

Does anyone know if 4409 has any route branding applied?

Many thanks in advance

I'd have thought the route branding will be applied once they've moved to their new depots later in the year

MAX and Sapphire are being scrapped its all under the new premium brand.

It had no branding on so im assuming they will get applied once back at its own depot by logo shack who is arrivas contractors for applying vinyls etc to the inside and out of the fleet.

Ah right OK - I must have misunderstood what I was told by "Sapphire rebrand". Thanks for clarifying

4409 J900ABW has returned and i have some photos at this moment in time it does actually carry Sapphire vinyls but that is more than likely due to Wrexham will be using it, Sapphire seats have been removed well the Sapphire trim in the seats and replaced with the standard 'Arriva' embraded seats, photographs will be up shortly Smile
