Some later passed to Redcar for the 63 then later the 93/X93. Sometime in 2011, five examples transferred from Durham to Darlington for the X66, a further four came to Darlington from Redcar in 2013 when the X93 became double deck operated but four left Darlington not long after when the 13 reg Pulsars arrived. 4643/4644/4645 started life with Arriva in Liverpool.

Werent they new for the X1/X41,im sure there was an X41 back then,cus i remember coming back from my holidays and seeing those and the new ones for SNE's 100 in the same day,and i turned to my grandad and said 'oooo looks like we've got new buses',wow i was 12 then,such an easily amused kid
