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.
Despite having not yet been repainted; this vehicle has transferred from Slatyford Depot to Stockton, albeit presently in a reserve capacity. The allocation of this vehicle to Stockton Depot is believed to allow for the withdrawal of older MAN 18.220LF/Transbus ALX300 vehicles in Stockton's fleet.
Prior to entering service in the region, this vehicle has received route branding for service 100 (Newcastle City Centre - Metrocentre). It is thought that this vehicle, and the others in its batch, will replace the Dennis Enviro 300/Alexander Enviro 300 vehicles currently allocated to the 100 service, which will cascade to Stockton Depot to replace the older MAN 18.220LF/Transbus ALX300 vehicles there.
