I take it if 7541-52 are replaced as rumoured, all the Classic E400s will be shipped out of Ashington too?

Why would they be? They need E6 buses to enter the CAZ, and some of 7526-33 are needed for routes which enter it. 

There's pretty much nothing in the 7541-52 rumours either.

The very green, 4803 is now in service: https://flic.kr/p/2opyyn9

There's much confusion as to why it's been painted green, heard a suggestion that it's not meant to be green!

Didn't something like that happen with GNE with 8329/8331.

As well several G2s stripes were painted at like a 65 degree angle instead of 70 or smth like that. Pretty sure that happened at Blackburn

Think the little photos of it is cause it kinda came out of nowhere. Like 7556 has been repainted but not the rest of the ex max. I think 7522 is in journey Mark but nothing on where it is as hasn't been seen on the road for a while & hasn't been seen at Walkergate

It was the next Northumbria one to go logically, the 64 plates at Ashington had finished so work would always have started on the 15 plates next. 2 of ADCs 15 plates have been done (at least). 

7553/4 would have been behind 7522 in the queue at Walkergate, which you'd assume didn't go with the 14 plates due to decker availability at Walkergate (same with 7523 at Durham you'd think). 7553 has been off for some time with engine issues and has only just returned, so that'll likely make the trip once 7522 is complete. 7555 is off with fire damage at Thornton's, so you'd imagine that'll return repainted. 

7522 is away at the moment, was pictured down there on the 20th March. People have been updating the livery for the repaints on Bustimes pretty much as they depart.
