From Monday 5th June 2017, Go North East will operate a home-to-school contract on behalf of Durham County Council on an emergency basis. Numbered 5030, the service will operate from Chester-le-Street Depot. As such, this vehicle has transferred from Hexham Depot to Chester-le-Street, where it will see allocation to the new scholars service.
Having incurred defects uneconomical to repair, this vehicle has been withdrawn from service at Deptford Depot. The X36 service, which operates on an hourly frequency between Sunderland and Newcastle via the North Sunderland estates and The Boldons, is planned to be withdrawn from Sunday 23rd July 2017, and with this would have come the withdrawal of both of the Dennis MPDs allocated to this service. Until the service is withdrawn, its temporary replacement will be provided once new Wright Streetlites enter service at Deptford on "Black Cats" services 2/2A and 39.
This vehicle has returned to Go North East following internal refurbishment and repaint into a plain blue base livery. It is currently undergoing preparation for service at Saltmeadows Road Depot prior to allocation to Riverside Depot.
This vehicle has been temporarily withdrawn from service at Riverside Depot and released for internal refurbished and repaint at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn. The extensive refurbishment work includes, but is not limited to, external repaint; deep cleaning of the interior of the vehicle; renewal of floor coverings; cleaning all seat frames and re-trimming seats into leather with USB sockets on the back of every seat; fitting blue accent lighting underneath seats to provide extra light on the gangway; and fitting Next Stop Announcements.
