Our ever-expanding fleet continues to get a glow-up.

Here’s a look behind the scenes at one of our latest acquisitions being repainted…

? Euro VI - for greener, cleaner air.
? Fitted with seatbelts - for your comfort and ease on private hires
? Soon to be fully PSVAIR compliant with “next stop” audio-visual announcements

Anyone know what fleet number this has gained?

I'd presume 302 as it's another E300.

The E300 in question has been numbered 302 and is formerly Stagecoach East Scotland & Strathtay's 27606 (SP59 CTU).

Elsewhere Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 Olympus 438 (LX09 BXJ) is back from repaint into Northstar Livery.

SP59 CTU

Have the Northstar services been busy today?

RE: Northstar - R852 PRG - 26 Dec 2025

Some very strong loadings observed on the M43, primarily those heading to the Metrocentre and Newcastle but more than I had expected heading into Stanley throughout the day.

Think it's been a mixed bag if I am honest, I have seen a few M43/X21's quite busy then others have been pretty dead.

I went into Newcastle and then up Regent Centre and it was dead, not many people about at all today.

RE: Northstar - Michael - 26 Dec 2025

Interesting, good to see them busy on most of the runs, hopefully they'll launch a few services in 2026 to go against GNE and Arriva.

Probably a bit too far away from their operating base area, but would be good to see them running the 350/351.

Also, the evening & Sunday X15 could be a shout if that is still tendered by DCC?
