Pending commencement of the new X55 service; this vehicle has entered service at Sunderland Depot, where it will be trialled on service X24 (Sunderland - Newcastle). The purpose of the trial is to allow Stagecoach to gauge whether coaches would be an improvement over the current single-deck Scania K270UB/Scania Omnilink buses which operate on this express route. During the trial period, it will also allow Stagecoach to undertake maintenance on 24001 - 24003, which have suffered reliability issues as of late. This vehicle is expected to remain at Sunderland until 12th May 2017.
