In January 2020, Stagecoach Group unveiled a brand new look for its buses, with a commitment to simplify, modernise and enhance its customer experience. Taking on board feedback from customers, the Stagecoach created a new simplified and clearly colour coded design for its various bus services to make it easier and instantly recognisable for passengers to identify their required service, representing the three different types of journey; 'Azure blue' for its local bus services, 'Amber yellow' for longer distance services, and 'Ocean green' for specialist services. This vehicle has now been repainted into the 'Azure blue' livery.

Purchased as part of an £80 million investment by Stagecoach in the 2019/20 financial year, this vehicle has been delivered to the Walkergate depot by the manufacturer.
Whilst vehicles from the Stagecoach Highlands fleet undergo MOT work (carried out by Stagecoach North East), this vehicle has transferred from Stagecoach North East to Stagecoach Highlands on temporary loan.
