It's only undergoing a tidy-up ahead of its MOT on Tuesday. None of the older MANs (the remaining 2003 and 2004 examples) will see new livery as the examples based in Newcastle are due off at some point this year.

Speaking of the 317...
I was on it yesterday and the current Enviro 300 allocation imo is not suitable. As in length because that route (in Percy Main and Howdon) the streets, parked cars and tight turns ended in quite a few close calls. With cars having to reverse to let the bus past which was blocking the crossroads etc.. The E300 has a lot of overhang at the back and the driver looked nervous and the bus' big 'backend' definitely seemed a challenge even the passengers were commenting.

I have seen how close the bus gets to cars,but i gurss for now,those buses will have to do

Still not really sure why they were selected over the Enviro200s for that route - sure some of them are Euro6 or could be upgraded (which they will need to be anyway if remaining in Newcastle on 32/32A/35 etc)

It's only Euro 5 the 317 like.

It's only Euro 5 the 317 like.

The contract was Euro 5, but Stagecoach bid based on providing a Euro 6 bus.

Presumably the shorter Euro 6 E200s are needed for the 32 given the size restrictions on this route, hence resulting in the 317 being allocated these longer E300s.
