Arriva North East do seem to always end up painting something that has a year or less before the vehicle is withdrawn.

Maybe they think it'll sell for more? Or maybe they think it will be on the road for another 5 years.. Or maybe they're just incompetent..! Maybe all three!
That's what will end up happening to 2817

It certainly is just like the other alx 400s
1563 was on the X4 today with a broken ticket machine - thanks Arriva for the free trip from Redcar to Saltburn! A pretty full bus too, and still all that way to go to Whitby - someone's not gonna be happy!
