Just for those who are into the Model Bus Collecting like myself. 

Northcord Model Company have announced they will be releasing an Alexander Dennis Enviro 400MMC (Dark Green X-Lines) for 6341 - YX20 OKA showing "X47 Eldon Square" on the destination in the promotional image used, would've been better if it was an X30/X31/X32/X70/X71/X72 for better authenticity however during the pandemic the E400's were used on the X45/X46/X47 on a daily basis until the interworking patterning were sorted out. 

£57 and available for Pre-Order, the Model is due between September and October 2022.

Furthermore EFE is being relaunched as as "EFE Road" by Bachmann and will be releasing a Leyland National MK1 Model in Northern Livery (UUP 831K) showing "55 Sacriston", I did see a porotype of this at Whitehaven in the museum piece they had and this looked very smart, pictures don't do it justice.

£41.95 - Available for Pre-Order, A few sites showing "Awaiting Stock"

Manufacturers have to make do with whatever photo they can get permission to use. I'm sure that if GNE are involved then they'll remind them to use a correct route number.

Indeed, Go North East has helped the manufacturer with this one.

Be nice if they was more than two models of Hartlepool’s buses, even then it’s the same model just with different destinations. A model of A Hartlepool RE Leopard National or Falcon or one of each would be nice.
