There is a photo on Facebook of Slatyford Man E300 22580 debranded and freshly repainted. Will the x4 ex-Scotland MAN E300s still be allocated to the 100 (assuming all are getting repainted) or will another four vehicles be getting allocated to this route and if so will they be getting branding applied?

Also, an "E's" branded ADL E300 (27731 according to Bus Times as it is the only one not in service today) is parked at the rear of Sunderland depot so this must be next in-line for a repaint. There was a MAN E200 alongside it which I think may be South Shields' 39702 which I assume may also be getting a repaint.
