Pretty sure that's even the wrong shade of red too.
What that looks like is Stagecoach have bought some random open topper second hand at auction, and pressed it into service unrepainted, slapping their garbage beachball on it. Some might even think it's an ex EYMS vehicle. Outrageous.
If it was even registered therefore, the EK logo could therefore instead be seen as some depot lag's secret jibe at how far the once proud company has fallen.
It is, in a word, hideous.
