NORTHCORD UKBUS6530 Go North East Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC 6341 (YX20 OKA) new in early 2020, 6341 carries a full and colourfully branded livery for Xlines working route X71, heading to Consett. The stand-out features of the branding are: "TALKING BUS" and "WIFI USB" at the front; the big "Xlines" on both sides and rear, along with key locations served "fast into Newcastle, Sunniside, Stanley or Consett", together with "bring your bike on board", "comfortable, WIFI USB, talking bus, this is a low emission Euro 6 bus" with unique symbols respectively. Further slogans include: "take a ride on the green machine", "super low emission engines & stop start tech for a greener city", "frequent, rapid links from Go North East" together with an icon illustration of the city on the rear. Furthermore, a full-length destination display is carried on both sides, with the offside one mounted amidships. As 6341 is carrying the registration number with "OK", it will create additional interest to the model collectors far away from the Newcastle and North east area. The "OK" will recall the link to the OK buses from the same area. The Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square, gasket-mounted windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the model is its dual tree protectors at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with curved windscreens on both upper deck and lower deck. Northcord Model Company is also creating new design standards within the interior of both saloons. These features, inside the compartments, will represent the real, outstanding layout of the Enviro400MMC, such as the extensive portrayal of handrails on upper deck and lower deck, etc.
