They've had that for about 2 and a half years now.

Have they? Only saw it for the first time a few weeks ago and there's no photos of it with Longstaffs on Flickr. Well there was none until I uploaded a few tonight including this one.

They bought it in May 2016.
I believe it's used on scholars services to the high school at Amble.

It wasn't I've got an actual photo of it in their yard dated 2015.

Still with Claribels on 20th November 2015 - http://wmbusphotos.com/Claribels/mx55xgm.html
Also served with Premier of Blyth for a few months in 2007.
This guy isn't usually wrong with his stuff either, usually does the PSV sheets for the West Midlands.
It is quite possible your camera has the wrong date settings when you took the photo and defaulted to year it was new.

Longstaffs have an 18 plate Neoplan Tourliner demonstrator parked in their depot.

Do you have details of the reg or any photos.
I might have a drive up at the weekend and see if I can catch it. They had a Mercedes Sprinter demonstrator over the new year when I was last up.

Went past it on the bus so could only make out the promotional livery and the '18' on the plate.
