Once this vehicle has been trialed and perhaps after a stint on the X9 & X10, what will the likelihood be of this vehicle being loaned to other operators as a demonstrator?

Posted on the ANE Facebook page this evening:

"Unfortunately, our Haymarket & Middlesbrough travel shops won’t be reopening and are permanently closed."

Not too surprising, wouldn't be too surprised if this was on the cards even before Covid. Probably has less impact for the overwhelming majority of punters than saving costs through turning off WiFi, for example.

Seeing that the spare E200 was running on the X10 got me a bit curious about vehicle top speeds. 
If they're running an E200 on quite a long stretch of motorway, it must be fairly nippy and capable of 'motorway speeds' 

I know the older StreetDecks are limited to 49mph (although at least one of them didn't seem to have this as it was sitting at 55mph on the A1 according to the GPS on my phone), and the B5/B9s have a higher limit. 
But what about the likes of the E200s,E400s, new StreetDecks, Streetlites etc.

Does anyone know which years Expresslink and Northern Superliner were introduced as I am working on a photographic timeline, some of it I have worked out from looking at the Bygone Era Timeline.

Decided to do this follow contact from the Go-Ahead Group Communications Team for use of a few of my photos for promotional purposes which have also been used by Go North East and Northern Echo in recent weeks.

I’m sure it’s already been mentioned on here before, although I haven’t been able to find anything.

Which routes are run from Slatyford and which from Walkergate? Not familiar enough with the area to get an idea, only know a couple of them.
