Cheers, the Cadet must have been a late switch as isn't X51 meant to be Arriva MAX standard.

The 51 is Sapphire. The Max brand is no longer used

Right, Arriva need to update there site as they're saying 51 is MAX branded not Sapphire branded. https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/wales/servic...n=outbound

The posters in Rhyl bus station and on timetables all still say MAX as well... Wonder when this will change and if the 51 will have announcements and working plug sockets soon?

Considering it has the former Wrexham Enviro 400s it already has sockets as for the announcements they more than likely will be programmed into the vehicles to actually make use of the screens but the 51 is now a Sapphire Service just not officially as one of the recent Sapphire repaints is branded for the 51 4405 or 4406 i think?

4547 noted last night on the 35 (19:00 dep from Rhyl) I wonder if it covered the full route or was Roundwood missed out?

Must be 4405, I had 4406 yesterday and it didn't have 51 branding

And the sockets are there but more often than not they don't work, not just on these but also on the 14 plates, surely they should be fixing these?

Edit : 4405 is currently in Rhyl bus station and that doesn't have 51 branding either, must be another one 4409 maybe? That was blank at one point so could have been done

There has been an Enviro400 on the 35 (on the hour dep from Rhyl) all day and at least the 07:30 dep this morning was also an Enviro400 - They have been going direct from Prestatyn to Meliden (not via Roundwood)
