There are a few others that have the only remaining evidence being a plaque on the side destination screen inside.
Its quite a nice touch,wish Jesmond would do that to our buses,it reminds me of the Metro,they had dedicated metrocars up until they were refurbished,think 4041 is the only one dedicated now
