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 branding on 19430.

(18 Mar 2016, 4:43 pm)Dan wrote 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.

(18 Mar 2016, 4:59 pm)Tom wrote 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.

(18 Mar 2016, 5:03 pm)Dan wrote 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:

(18 Mar 2016, 5:52 pm)Tom wrote Shame they didn't put as much effort to the front where most people see.

(18 Mar 2016, 5:07 pm)Tom wrote 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.

(18 Mar 2016, 6:56 pm)Adrian wrote Aye, but then you get people complaining about branding on windows. Because it didn't happen in 1980, it shouldn't happen now.
