This vehicle has entered service at Chester-le-Street Depot. Seeing primary allocation to Chester-le-Street Town Services 700/701/702/703 and scholars service 876, this vehicle will also act as a dedicated spare vehicle for the Cathedral Bus services 40/40A/40B, in the event that one of the two white Optare Solos is unfit for service.
Following changes to Nexus Miscellaneous Works and scholars contracts, which has seen Go North East being awarded with over 70 of the available contracts, this vehicle has transferred from Chester-le-Street Depot to Washington. It has been allocated to Washington to operate the newly awarded contracts at Washington and to also act as a spare vehicle for "Red Arrows" services X1 and 921, like the similar examples (3941 - 3943) already allocated to the depot.
