Well that is taken just after it starts at Chester Rail Station but they do get full especially around the Chester Business Park around kicking out time from work, people have complained about the lack of capacity so the Enviro400's are the answer.

A photo of a fully refurbished Enviro (presumably 4403?) has appeared online parked next to unrefurbished 4404. Looks fantasic!

I agree that looks great, someone has done a fantastic job there.

Looks immensely better than the initial photo we saw from Blackburn recently! I'm quite a fan of it actually. I'm not entirely sold on the route branding toward the rear but the effort that has gone into that is quite commendable from the exterior paint job to the extent of the interior refurbishment. The leather coach seating, which can be seen more clearly on the upper deck also looks rather sumptuous! Certainly set to be a big step up for the 1 even from the Pulsars.

Interesting to note the Runcorn gas bus present too alongside the B5 Hybrid in the next picture. All in Jackson Street where, judging by the registration plate on that Enviro400, they must have been preparing some sort of press release.

P.S. Anyone able to translate the Welsh?

I agree - I think that looks excellent. Very smart indeed!

The Sapphire branding looks fantastic, agreed it looks much better than the initial photo did. Gives me hope for the new Geminis which I'm not convinced by yet on just the base livery.
