306 and 308 are going MAX. The hybrids on the 308 will all be refurbished soon. (7801 and 7802 done so far.) 306 is getting refurbished Pulsars with Streetlites moving to another route. I think all MAX branding will be applied when refurbishments are done.
Ah I see.

Shame their Coast Road Routes weren't Sapphire standard so they had next stop announcements like GNE's 309 & 310.
I also find it a little odd that the Hybrids now won't be shouting about their green credentials livery wise. I know in London for example its not really a big deal anymore, but with them being one of Arriva North East's few routes with green buses, I'm surprised they're just blending them in with the crowd.

Wales' 4409 is receiving the new livery at the moment.

No it's not, that's the livery for the East Midlands Airport parking services. It also has the yellow tape along the side, unlike the recent teal livery.

In addition to now being branded for Frequenta, 4701 has been refurbished and now features e-leather seats.
Middlesbrough Travel Shop has the summer 2017 X93 timetables in (note - there's no change to the timetable from last summer) - but I would say, as timetable covers go, that has to be the best in the North East at present.....

It was on the 64 one day before it went to Whitby.

2871 has been repainted into Interurban livery. Seen in Newcastle yesterday minus company logos.
