Might be interesting for someone who wants a photo of one in an unusual place!

And this is an event being aimed at kids in the Durham area, I imagine they'd have quite a few buses on, sure don't see Stagecoach doing this for those who support Newcastle, Gateshead, Middlesbrough or Hartlepool either.

Such a tease, have we got any photos?

Standard swoops, with it coming onto the pod but red and orange not coming onto the blue skirt sort of MMC style.... The bottoms of the orange swoops are very poorly done, so much so they are different each side, notably by the rear wheel arches. They've also annoyingly painted them like the E200 rears on the side windows, where the black is squared off instead of rounded off like on other E300. Then they've done a strip of red above the engine grill which would have obviously looked better black, and red light clusters. Half arsed.

Headlights have been painted white.
