From Matt Williamson

There was a competition advertised on the 22 a while back where you had to send in stories connection to the number 22. Prizes were given to the winners, and some of the stories will appear on the branding.

Was on the 22 tonight and I didn't even realise it was branded until I got off! Only really on the rear of the bus as far as I could see, so nothing special. Was 19432 I think I had so that's another one branded, would have got a photo on my phone but was too late before I realised.

Club 22, sounds like the old X34 brand.

Something's amiss - they haven't plastered it all over the windows!

Must be why I actually had to look twice to see the branding... Tom was right - it's barely noticeable!

Pity - Stagecoach could have done something a bit more extravagant, given that this service competes with Go North East's Coaster.

Yeah it's mainly on the back - the one I had had ducks on though rather than flamingos or whatever they are so must be a few variations of it.

They all seem to have Wi-Fi though which is good.

Odd. What do the animals represent, do you know?

Stagecoach must have retrofitted Wi-Fi to further Enviro400s, as the three we've got down as branded so far don't (or didn't) have Wi-Fi:

There was a competition where people sent in stories about the number 22 to be featured. so I'm guessing it's related to that? God knows what ducks represent though.

Shame they didn't put as much effort to the front where most people see.

Aye, but then you get people complaining about branding on windows. Because it didn't happen in 1980, it shouldn't happen now. Wink

'Club 22' Enviro400s noted yesterday are:
19386/430 wear the 'Flamingo' variation
19431 has the 'Cobalt 2' variation

19389/432 wear the 'Superhero' version
19433 wears the 'Ducks' version

A shame they didn't get them repainted first - there's still evidence of 19430's former 1 branding behind the new 22 branding

Another Stockton MANViro repainted is 24114.
