Following the arrival of Dennis Trident 2/Alexander Enviro 400 7523 (NK14 GFO) at Belmont Depot, this vehicle has been released for cascade and has transferred to Jesmond Depot. Although it should be allocated to services 43/44/45, it carries no specific sub-branding. This group of services is being upgraded to replace the elderly DAF DB250RS/Alexander ALX400 vehicles allocated to these routes at the moment, following recent complaints from The Gosforth Residents Association regarding pollution caused by these buses on the High Street.
