Service changes which took place from 1 June 2020 resulted in the revision of service X66 to no longer operate via Metrocentre ASDA, IKEA and the car parks. This section of the route was partly replaced by a revised "Coaster" services 1A/1B, extended beyond Metrocentre Interchange to Metrocentre ASDA. This permanent route change has resulted in the PVR decreasing on the X66 service by one vehicle. As a result, this vehicle has been repainted into Go North East's 2019 fleet livery.
