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.

Following service revisions at South Shields which saw the frequency (and hence the PVR) of the X34 service being reduced, this vehicle has transferred from South Shields Depot to Walkergate. As such, it has additionally lost its branding for service X34.
