Have the Enviro400s here had some sort of power increase? The two that I had today (4541 and 4546) flew off the mark and went through the gears quicker and revved higher than its sisters at other depots do (as they normally take a few seconds to get going).

Max branding has been applied to some buses

Yes, all Enviros have had the gearbox program changed to improve acceleration.

15th January will be the official launch. All 7 are now branded for MAX and are on the road. 2649 and 2650 are generic branded with 2651 to 2655 being 51 MAX branded.

Very negative!

No change there then!!

I think the Arriva MAX Pulsars look very smart. Looking forward to having a ride on one in the future

I hope Rhyl depot put some posters on the 12's like they had done with cymru coastliner like they have done with the 5.

That's just a personal opinion

We have to be careful with what we put notice wise in the sapphires, you'll have noticed that its a different notice design to the arriva standard.

Very true, gathered no external adverts can be used

Wrexham only has one X-ANC Dart - 2217. As Smithy said in post #533 the two X-ANC Darts presently at Rhyl (2208 and 2221) are due to go to Bangor to cover for Solo refurbishments
