Could do with it, last time I rode it the headrests' looked battered to hell and a fresh up is long overdue.
Hopefully it may get WiFi.

I just wish that they would put a flashier livery on it as well.

Annoyingly the thing we're still not getting out of this rabbiting on is where the free food is!

Not sure that contributes to the ongoing discussion, but okay, everyone is entitled to their opinion...
Do you have any reasoning? I recall you didn't like the 36 because you didn't think anyone would travel from Chester-le-Street to Town End Farm; but didn't have anything to say for it?
What exactly makes them dull? The majority of their services are branded, with some very recognisable features that make the company stand out - look at Stagecoach or Arriva, they have very few brands in comparison to Go North East. Surely that makes them a bit more 'plain' than Go North East?

When did 7090 get repainted into driver training colours (albeit without vinyls)?

Couldn't remember that one being painted earlier, but I've looked back and it seems it was repainted on the first week of 2015.
7093 (K3 VOY) took its place as the Driver Trainer / Additional National Express spare, following changes to National Express work which saw a number of coaches surplus to requirements.

Hmm...Jimmi may know that i pointed out that 4901 has a 'northern' vinyl on the front of it (https://www.flickr.com/photos/127079988@N02/16546892686/in/photolist-qQhhJX-rdc9Hd-nutgBR-mkwHZa-p65azH-fhry1t-pFMs5E-ePZkUg-kANRPq-kRuist-kRuisi-oJRCtQ-aLGhpP-bj1JNF-bfYsbn-bbnnFH-gGcYz4-e7mWqs-b3H3Nt). Well, it appears that the whole panel itself has bee swapped with 4904 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/128497080@N03/16387540127/).

3888 has just replaced 3885 on 15/15As at Lanchester heading for Durham.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2015 - Dan - 19 Feb 2015
The lack of 7118/19 in the fleet is seemingly taking its toll, with loans to Go North East for National Express work becoming more frequent. A recent example is shown below:
