Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
Latest E400 for Newcastle repainted is 19445, discovered on the 22, not tracking as with nearly all recent repaints. Captured this evening in Stella North, or Newburn Riverside as the council wants people to call it.

It's Newburn Haugh.
Stella North was the name of the power station. Two power stations were built on either side of the Tyne, they were operated as a pair so both were called Stella, with Stella South (built on Stella Haugh) being the largest of the two.

Frankly Glen I don't believe a word you are saying until I see a photo evidence of said vehicles. Anyway just because they haven't been seen in service for a few days doesn't mean they are getting repainted. It might be simply they are waiting for parts to get repaired. Anyway it's not the first time you have stuff is painted and it wasn't.

Looks like it is. This'll be the first 200MMC in the region to get the new livery won't it?

Wonder if it'll keep its 36/37/38 sub-branding.

One of the E300 gas buses is getting the pride livery, not sure which one as Harry Barker (his post) didn’t state the fleetnumber on Stagecoach North East & North West Enthusiasts Group on Facebook.

Quite surprised they've started painting the E200/E400MMC's when there is still a large number of E200/E300/NG & E400's still to be painted.
Looking at the fleet list on Bus Times the following are still in Beachball or other Non Standard Liveries:
39 - E400MMC's
15 - E400H's
29 - E400's
24 - ALX300's - Unsure as to how many of these will be repainted given there age.
16 - MAN/Transbus E300's
21 - E300 Gas
5 - Pointer Darts
38 - E200MMC's
29 - E200's
46 - MAN E200's - Highly doubt these will get repainted as I would expect these to be replaced in the near future due to poor reliability.

10638 is showing normal dishwasher tablet livery for me and photos have showed it as such, however 26293 is now showing pride.
However the peril of bus times is that any idiot can change the information. Especially those who like to post false reports.
Which is why I wait until I see actual photos. The Stagecoach Pride livery is vinyls so possibly they might be applied at the depot the vehicle is based at, but we have to wait and see. I'm sure they wouldn't have done a GNE and repainted 28007 again into Dishwasher Tablet livery for a second time in a space of a year.
Can confirm 10638 is going into pride livery. It is partially branded and is out on the 62 today.
