Quite surprised given there age now Stagecoach North East have decided to repaint any of the ALX300's into the new livery, guessing these are not going anywhere anytime soon then.

Its quite funny they went to the bother of painting a black light surround. I know thats spec'd on liveries for MMCs, but did they really need to for ALXs which don't have a light surround panel like MMCs.

Personally, I think it looks much better with the black 'light surround'. I mean, they're still absolutely hideous but at least they look a bit less gormless

The front looks like it has eye liner or eye lashes on.

The new national standard livery as head office don't like the black headlight surrounds.

I agree with the head office. 27738 looks better than the others that have already been repainted, in my opinion. I assume the others may have to be adjusted at some point.

They wouldn't have this problem nationally if they had been clear from the start about the colour scheme.    

Latest repaint at Stockton is 27167

Is 27167 has been reprinted to New colour it say on stagecoach on Teesside buses times is it 27168 want been done is it right.

I am struggling to make out what you mean? Are you asking if 27168 is done correctly and has 27167 been repainted to the same?

I mate that want I am saying it was 27168 it was on stagecoach on Teesside buses times table and new colour next to it.

Both are done - 27168 was done and back in service on the 13th, 27167 (the first done to the HQ-demanded blue headlights) was back in service on the 22nd
