Photo of 4652 can be found here - might be worth you pointing out the defective panel on the front LED destination to the powers that be, Scott!
On another note - there seemed to be some hefty delays on service 685 this morning while I was in Hexham. Noticed some fairly decent loads for a change, but mostly concessionary pass holders. Amazing how different the service is now compared to what it was a few years ago when Arriva had a depot in Hexham - reliability perhaps making customers look elsewhere? Go North East's competing equivalent services also endured some minor delays but nothing as severe as the regular 20-minute delays I observed in both directions (especially from Carlisle).
