North East Buses

I wish that stagecoach would Decorate the buses with up xmas Decorations like you too like Companies do ?

I like stagecoach new on E200 training colour livery to old one the old training livery Minds me go north east livery .

19435 has gone to Sunderland for repaint after being debranded of its megabus livery. I’m going to guess it’s going into local since nothing has been said about the new livery.

The latest comment obtained by SKM from Stagecoach earlier today regarding the new livery trial is: "We will have an update in the new year on this" We will await an announcement with interest.

I’m hoping they’ve gone ahead with it, I like the new livery and it looks smart.

Having seen the trial liveries in the metal / paint, I hope they don't, it looks depressing and awful.

Plain navy looks drab and doesn’t make the bus noticeable, especially at night.

The bus has lights and either a bright orange or white destination screen. I think that's enough to notice a bus at night. The Megabus livery is near a similar shade. I really like the navy livery

People waiting at bus stops at night have X-ray vision or something - they can see a bus without any interior lights on coming toward them not in service so I doubt this is much of an issue (just a shame they can't actually read what's written on the display). Speaking of, have NXWM had much issue with their grey livery, or, closer to home, GNE and the various Loop, ToonLink and Fast Cats liveries?

For me, when I'm waiting for a bus at night I look for the destination screen lights. I can never read the destination clearly from a far distance. But, knowing buses, 98% of the time, I can pretty much guess what the destination screen says just by the shape and size of the bright orange/white lights.

Ex London 36361 at Slatyford in the red and white driver training version of local livery.
