Arriva Midlands 4001 - TUI 7931 - Wright Eclipse Gemini - Charles Street, Leicester

With the 31 and 31A reduced to every 10 minutes, Sapphire 4001 has been de-branded. As a result, it was on the 44 and 44A today. We see it join the Haymarket Bus Station queue.

 

It was registered FJ06 ZPX when new and is actually used for the two models, one of the 31 and another for the 31A, while there is a model based on Lowlander 4740 (now 1623 in the Yorkshire fleet) on the 85.

 

There is also a model from Midland Fox days, 4156 when it was known as the 185. That was destroyed in the October 2002 depot fire, as was 4164 and 4167. There is also a model of 32649 on the 26 before it was split in 2007.

 

4001 was withdrawn in December 2017 but was reinstated in February 2019, with its original registration. 3799 now carries this one.
