Unveiled during last year's "Catch the Bus Week" (3rd - 9th July 2017), Go North East hopes the versatility and stress-free nature of contactless will drive passenger numbers across its Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, County Durham and Tees Valley services.

Following the entry into service of new vehicles on "Angel" service 21, it is planned for both Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 3962 (JCN 822) and 3965 (574 CPT) to be repainted into Go North East's corporate livery and remain at Chester-le-Street and be allocated to the two double-deck boards on services 13/14/X25, to provide a higher quality vehicle on these services following the upgrade of the single-deck boards to higher-quality Scania L94UB/Wright Solar vehicles late last year. As such, this vehicle has consequently been withdrawn from service at Chester-le-Street Depot.
Prior to receiving branding, this vehicle has entered service at Chester-le-Street Depot. Primarily acting as a spare vehicle for "Angel" service 21, this vehicle will also be used at Crook Depot, in the event that a "Castles Express" branded Wright StreetDeck is unfit for service. If all of the branded allocation on both "Angel" service 21 and "The Castles Express" service X21 are on the road, then this vehicle will be allocated to other double-deck services at Chester-le-Street Depot, in order to maximise the amount of mileage operated by this fuel-efficient vehicle eligible for extra BSOG payments.
Prior to returning to service at Riverside Depot; this vehicle has received "The Crusader" branding, with sub-branding for services 26 and 27 (South Shields - Jarrow - Newcastle).
