This vehicle has been treated to a partial repaint into Go North East's new corporate livery. The new livery design is a a lot more eye-catching and features a two-tone base livery, with the traditional key colour of red towards the front of the bus, and non-metallic dark blue towards the back. It is thought that further vinyls will be added at a later date, in order to reflect the quality and customer values of Go North East.

In line with service changes which have seen the withdrawal of services 220/222 (Sunderland - Durham) and the introduction of service 20, this vehicle has received "Prince Bishops" branding. This example has internal and external nameplates dedicated to the late Christopher Moyes OBE. Chris Moyes OBE (26 July 1949 – 12 September 2006) was one of the founders of Go Ahead Group, one of the United Kingdom's largest transport businesses, and the parent company of Go North East. He resigned from most of his positions in July 2006 due to an undisclosed serious illness and died on 12 September 2006. It was only then reported that he had been seriously ill with a brain tumour since May 2006. At the time of his death Moyes owned 1.96 million shares (4.02%) of Go-Ahead's stock and was amongst its largest shareholders.
