Vehicle History

November 2016 Go North East Having seen minimal use in Stagecarriage of Grangetown's fleet after purchase from Ensign Bus Co., Purfleet, this vehicle has now been sold for scrap to Ontime-Recovery, Spennymoor.
October 2015 Go North East This vehicle has been sold on from Ensign Bus Co., Purfleet, to Stagecarriage, Grangetown, where it has been allocated fleet number 18.
October 2015 Go North East This vehicle has been sold to Ensign Bus Co., Purfleet.
September 2015 Go North East This vehicle has been withdrawn from service at Riverside Depot.
February 2014 Go North East Photograph by Following the closure of Gateshead and Winlaton depots, this vehicle has been transferred to the brand new Riverside Depot. Riverside Depot replaces the existing depots at Sunderland Road in Gateshead and Winlaton which date back to the days of the tramways.
February 2007 Go North East Photograph by This vehicle has transferred from Gateshead Depot to Stanley, and has received sub-branding for the 43/44 services having received "The Diamond" branding whilst still based at Gateshead. The new branding replaces the temporary branding introduced to services 40, 43, 43A, 43B and 44 (vehicles wearing standard fleet livery with Stanley Shuttle vinyls applied), in line with the simplification of the services which operate between Durham and Newcastle, via Stanley.
February 2007 Go North East Ahead of transfer to Stanley Depot where this vehicle will be allocated to "The Diamond" services 43/44, this vehicle has gained "The Diamond" branding, albeit without sub-branding for the 43/44 services. Early expansion of the Go-Ahead Northern empire saw the acquisition of certain smaller competing bus operators in North East England, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Northern acquired JH Hammell (Diamond) on 30th December 1994, which this brand refers to.
February 2007 Go North East Prior to new branding being launched, this vehicle has been repainted into a plain orange base livery.
