It's not unknown - previous batches of E400s had later numbered vehicles delivered out of sequence (e.g Coventry in advance of some of the West Bromwich ones in the 49xx series). It depends how NXWM have specified them to arrive.

The reason for the out of sequence deliveries last year and this year is nothing sinister, It is purely because Alexander Dennis have the vehicles coming down two production lines

Thanks for the info Tony - sounds like they could be arriving even quicker. Ps I wasn't suggesting anything sinister, merely that out of sequence delivery had occurred before from AD.

Wonder what the Suttons branding will be? An electric blue would be awesome and suit the platinum livery

Could be a similar shade to the 110 Sapphire livery to match that corridor but knowing us lot it will be another shade of green like all the other branded Platinum's apart from the 529 @Chris

Won't the current black/blue branding look lost against the dark Platinum livery?

So I suspect that the 82/87 will get the Sutton cast offs as nxwm tend to have a habit of re distributing to routes that have had re hashes ( what ever you want to call it) months apart lol

Will the 907 be in the Sutton Platinum mix?

monkeyjoe

If it is that will definitely take the mick in my humble view, it shouldn't be
