Brand new buses from Newcastle to Newbiggin...
7542 has just left Ashington on an X21 to Newcastle. Its the only one I have seen in service so far.
7541 was on an x21 into Newcastle this morning. It is still completely vynal free though, no branding, no fleet no. or legal info that I could see.

1541 X21 off Ashington is 7541.
I see there's been confusion over 7542, it entered service as 7542 and is on the allocation lists as 7542, but was delivered as 7544 and says that in the cab... It might have been miscommunication within the depot, suppose we'll have to wait and see what the vinyls say.
7541 and 7542 are in action again today. 1310 X22 off Ashington will be 7542's next journey
The E400s that are transferring to Jesmond have had their NSAs updated for 43/44/45.
Over two weeks since the 'launch' and still no sign of any more branded 27s!

New Sapphire X21/X22 Enviro400 MMC's are now in service.

One thing I noticed when I rode 7544 was that it had frames fitted to the panels above the windows but had seemingly been removed prior to entering service, guessing it will receive interior branding in this area at a later stage? Also the next next stop announcement slides advertise stuff like WiFi, contactless payments etc. but also includes advert slides for MAX service X12 and Cross Pennine service 685/X85.
