In line with upcoming service changes in Newcastle which will see service X47 revised to operate to and from the city's Eldon Square Bus Station and at a reduced 15-minute daytime frequency, this vehicle has had its route branding for service X47 removed. Stagecoach's network revisions in Newcastle have been carefully planned to improve reliability for customers and to take account of deteriorating traffic conditions around the city. These changes also closer match bus services with passenger travel patterns, and following the public consultation earlier in the spring, also introduce a number of requested new links in and around the city.

Following a two-month trial period at Stagecoach North East; this vehicle has now been withdrawn from service at Walkergate Depot, and returned to Wrightbus.
Due to a shortage of MAN 14.240 LF/Alexander Enviro 200 vehicles at Walkergate, this vehicle has temporarily transferred from Slatyford Depot to Walkergate. MAN 18.220LF/Transbus ALX300 22022 (NK03 XJN) has replaced it at Slatyford.
To alleviate shortages at Walkergate Depot; this vehicle has been reinstated into the main service fleet at Slatyford Depot, allowing Slatyford-based MAN 14.240 LF/Alexander Enviro 200 39706 (NK58 AFX) to temporarily transfer to Walkergate, covering for similar examples which are unfit for service. Although this vehicle was absorbed into the Driver Training fleet on paper, it never came out of active service in reality.
Pending commencement of the new X55 service; this vehicle has entered service at Sunderland Depot, where it will be trialled on service X24 (Sunderland - Newcastle). The purpose of the trial is to allow Stagecoach to gauge whether coaches would be an improvement over the current single-deck Scania K270UB/Scania Omnilink buses which operate on this express route. During the trial period, it will also allow Stagecoach to undertake maintenance on 24001 - 24003, which have suffered reliability issues as of late. This vehicle is expected to remain at Sunderland until 12th May 2017.
