4956-4966 were introduced in 2002. These replaced (the now withdrawn Renowns - inc 340 GUP) on the 194/294.

Initially in the original GNE livery, the vehicles were repainted into the swoop livery circa 2006 and the 294 was axed. The 194 was renumbered the M1.

In 2010(?), the route was rejigged and the yellow livery was introduced.
During the summer of 2013, vehicles were gradually repainted into their new base colours, prior to the arrival of the Citaro's on the 4.

5229-5233: Were allocated to Deptford from new in 'swoop' livery and branded for x20/x50. You have the rest, although it was in x20 Prince Bishops Express before resorting to Prince Bishops.

The vehicles initially branded for Cats Fast, were at Percy Main from new on the Route19. They had special wheels fitted to the front for a busway somewhere up that way.

Again, don't have specific dates as I am going off memory alone - but hopefully it will help narrow things down somewhat.

I've corrected the mistake regarding 4950's registration. Ta.

Just as an update to everyone; although I have not added any of the updates as given in the above quote, a large number of vehicles now have quite a comprehensive history section.

Since last night, I have mainly focussed on adding the details of all repaints I could find details of. From this - paired with Go North East's Archive - I think I will be able to piece together the majority of the movements that have occurred. Any help would still be appreciated to fill in the gaps.

I'm yet to add their former fleet numbers from London, but most of the Volvo B7TLs in the fleet now have quite a comprehensive history. A number of the Volvo B10BLEs in the fleet also have a rather comprehensive history, outlining various repaints. This also applies to some of the Scania L94s. The DAF SB120s have details for about half of their lives.
