What route will the Enviro 300 be allocated to?

It has been doing the schools orientated 418 which leaves Alnwick bus station at 15.45 and goes directly to the bus stop outside the Duchess high school then straight to Belford.
Then via the normal route to Beadnell.
Its a bit too big and clumsy to go anywhere else really.

Any idea when or if it will be repainted? Hopefully see it down in Alnwick sometime.

I should think it will be painted either next or possibly after the last of the new Setra's that is still in Shearings blue,
