Only new information being pricing, which is surprisingly cheap.

The 5 mile £2 single/£3 return presumably would cover any journey in the Hartlepool zone and would come in cheaper than two flat-fare singles or a day rider. 

What remains to be seen is if Tees Flex is strictly for use outside the regular network or it will cover more of the town. 

At those prices it’ll be a viable alternative to a taxi. Although it’ll never be commercially viable, it does make a nice poster project for the mayor who’s keen to be showing how caring the Tory party can be to the NE....

did someone mention Teesside Airport?

Withdrawn E400 from Walkergate 19195, 19208 and 19209 plus 19207 from Stockton should now have departed for East Midlands.

27590 is the first of a handful of buses to steadily arrive at Walkergate from North Scotland, assisting them with MOT work - these are not for service. Some of Walkergate's white MMC will be used as cover at Inverness during this time.

When you say "Not for service", I'm not quite sure what you mean, and what the vehicle is therefore doing here?

I must say that the new SC liveries all look amazing. They're simple, recognisable, not to plain, not too packed but not too bland. GNE should take note.

Pleasant liveries. The 'specialist' green is a bit plain but I'd assume it will generally carry additional branding for whatever makes it a specialist allocation?

It's recognisably 'Stagecoach' from any angle and pairs with the subdued interior which creates a simple but premium feel. I always felt Stagecoach had the strongest corporate brand but it felt particularly cheap and commercial, particularly beachball interior. A nice departure from diagonal block liveries which seem to have been adopted by seemingly every other operator.

Very much agreed, all that was all very good at the start of the decade. I like the change, but yet to be won over by the orange bumper on the E400 Azure blue one, or why its headlight clusters are black yet on the E200 they are painted with the Ocean green. Hopefully something that will be ironed out...

It's far too bland, far too much white, just looks like a demo vehicle!
I do like the coach though!
