To mark 30 years since Cowie acquired British Bus and Northumbria Motor Services next year, it would be lovely to see a few E400/E400MMC painted in the classic NMS livery and also stickered up interiorwise. Pretty much what Stagecoach have done for Busways and Transit!

This will never happen unfortunately. Arriva up here ain't like that. Last time anything like this happened was when 7445/7446 were done in Zip & United

New ownership, new ideas. It's more possible than it was this time last year.
I would hope so, but would they risk a 40 year old livery upstaging their current one?
