4774 was repainted by Go North East into a plain white base livery on 2nd July 2007 and sold to Stanley Travel.

In the interim period between being sold to Stanley Travel and being acquired again by Go North East in October 2007 for use at Ashington following the Northumbria Buses takeover, Stanley Travel operated service 711 on behalf of Go North East, using this bus.

I've had a quick look back at my archives (yet to be put on our NEB archive), and I can't find anything about a Sigma being allocated to Stanley. The info is a bit sketchy from that period, though. The repaint floats in May 2007 were Darts 8099, 8110 and 8117. Went to and from various depots week on week, depending on which depot had a bus in for repaint.
