I think Mark because Hinckley come under Wigston they could lend it to Barwell Depot

If there's Diverson or Low bridge 2450 could go on it

On 20/03/2018, Wigston allocated 4003 and 4005 were noted to have reverted to their original registrations of FJ06 ZPV and FJ06 ZRL. They were re-registered to TUI 7933 and TUI 7935 when converted to Sapphire. One presumes the rest of the batch will be similarly treated. Arriva seem to do an excellent job at wasting money on frivolous nonsense.

Whilst on the subject of the 4001 - 4010 batch, I can't say I've observed 4001 in Leicester, since the Sapphire E400MMCs entered service at Wigston...

Below is a link to a shot, taken by myself, of 4007, at Leicester railway station, on 21/03/2018, showing it with its original registration.

Since being displaced from routes 31 / 31A by the new E400MMCs, 4001 - 4010 can be found at work on routes 44 / 44A & 49. The company states these routes aren't Sapphire; despite what it says on the exterior of the bus and throughout the interior. These vehicles still carry interior route maps for routes 31 / 31A! Such a failing in attention to detail which causes brand apathy and could result in passengers getting confused.
