I noticed that UK Today uses an end sting after it's bulletin at .54 mins past, as North West Today opted to the trailer too early. North West Today don't use any and was wondering if this is unique to UK Today or NW Today are cutting them out?

Since going generic, Midlands Today has always used the FULL LENGTH opening titles for ALL bulletins (even Breakfast opt-outs and 15:25 BBC Two bulletin)

[itsrobert mode] Its because they changed to a two presenter format, they wanted an extra headline to make it two each for each presenter because having the 3 spread unevenly would have looked strange, so they needed to save time so the full opening sequence was removed and the sting used indtead. [/itsrobert mode] That is right isn't it Rob? I've heard you mention it so many times!

No. Reporting Scotland used the full titles today at 6.30. I was playing it over on my PC and I can pretty much say it was the full titles on the TV.
