These vehicles would be ideal for the following services around the North East which would be far too long distance for all of the new angel network electric investments coming with franchising....
X10 Newcastle to Middlesbrough
X12 Newcastle to Middlesbrough
685 Carlisle to Newcastle
X15/X18/X20 Berwick/Alnwick to Newcastle
The demonstrator Panther LE that Go North East used on the X10 was in fact later acquired by Stagecoach East Scotland and joined their others.
