That is my interpretation of that line from the press release ... Please tell me how that does not say 56 Euro 6 Enviro400s.

PS ... Lots has recorded the Aylesbury Enviro400s as Euro 5 ... So wondering where you sourced your info ... myself not familiar with visually telling them apart, and the time of year is wrong

Every other source I can find mentioned nothing of Euro6 Enviro400s bar the 9 original style examples for the 280 (which can be told by the enlarged rear overhang over a Euro5 example). Also, if you look:

7 Sapphire for North East
17 Sapphire for Yorkshire
17 MAX for Yorkshire
6 Sapphire for Southern Counties
9 Sapphire for The Shires
Total = 56

Which weren't on the 2014/15 order

Also, the Streetlite order:
5 MAX-specification examples for North East
7 Sapphire-specification examples for North East
25 Standard--specification examples for Midlands

The 5 MAX-specification examples were announced to the North East enthusiast network last year but they were always intended for the 2015 order.

That's 37. 6 for Birkenhead now takes that to 43.
