Probably wrong Thread, Move if necessary!

I have noticed that Enviro 200MMC 26063 has lost its orange 'moustache' (as you might say), I have saw this on various occasions recently. Not sure if more than one has been done or just saw this particular bus a few times. Like IIRC Enviro 400MMC 10639  which has the same. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I mean I prefer it even though I'm all for bright colours (yes I like the 2020 Livery) however I think 3 colours is enough for the front of the bus i.e. Navy Blue, Black and White. (Plus the  orange normally).  I don't know if this is a repaint (probably not) or repair but I thought I'd post as at least 2 MMC's (26063/10639) look like now.

 hopefully soon either of the 2016 deckers or singles are the 'right age' to be repainted as stagecoach like to do it every 5 years

[Micheal Aaron]

Every 5 years. Wow there's still hybrids in the old green. And that was meant to be fazzed out about 2 years ago. God knows why they left. I think 4 in green

Don't quote me on that, I heard that somewhere on here a while back.

2 left, 065 and 068 I think, 061 is in for a repaint atm I think

[V514DFT]

Wasnt 061 done a while back,could possibly be 081,technically though,they all need repainting because of the change of livery,by the time they do that,they livery probably would of changed again lol

Think I seen 081 on the 1 last week, not seen 061 in a long time plus it’s not been seen on bustimes.org for a while unless it’s lost it’s ticket machine, seems to be a few funny ones atm like one of the e200s having 10646 ticket machine

[V514DFT]

Quite possible

[54APhotography]

12081 is almost complete at the Wheatsheaf, just white lining to do. 12061 has not been in traffic for a long while and is still in Stagecoach Green

19641 & 28019 complete and due to re-enter traffic shortly.

37311 in for repaint after repairs to lower panels.

Another variation on the livery. 27729 sporting blue lights but retaining the white bib.

19211 now has blue lights and bib akin to 12081 and 19388/641. presume this is yet another change from up top.

Can someone at stagecoach decide what the front what's to look like. There's what 4 different versions

[Youngymmv]

Are Sunderland trialing livery variations for Stagecoach or something. There are now 4 different front end types! Somebody needs to make a decision as it’s getting as silly as arrivas multiple mix and match livery’s lol

Hartlepool 200 36462 is here for paint.

re versions:

I saw an E400 at Hull recently in new livery with white headlight surrounds!

---

And edited again (well, replied to and quoted, actually!) to confirm that I've now seen photos of both 18420 and 18421 in the Specialist livery as well.

So, if you wish to experience the Specialist livery, you'll want to get yourself down to Bristol and seek out ALX400s 18420, 18421 and 18422.  They seem to work standard services fairly regularly as well, if you want to ride them!

closer specialist versions at Hull (27880-2)
