RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
Sunderland ADL E300 27740 is now in the new livery.

Just 27733, 35 & 38 left to be done of the Sunderland ADL E300s.

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.

Sunderland ADL E300 27738 has been repainted. However, the headlight surrounds and front panel (where the front fleet number is positioned) have been painted blue.

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.     Confused

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?
RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
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.
RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
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

RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
Im not sure what to make of the livery now,, i liked the black around the lights,it broke the front end up,but on certain bus models, whilst this version looks good on most of the buses,but the blue on the front end looks a bit much,it also makes the bus look like it has a beard
Kind Regards

Walkergate ADL E400 19388 has recently been repainted into the new livery.

Also it appears that the Sunderland ADL E300s that have already been repainted are getting the headlight surrounds and front panel painted blue to match the approved local livery.

Looks like South Shields based Enviro 200 37313 has been done as well.

Those blue light surrounds/bottom front definitely look good especially on the E200s/300s don't imagine it looking too bad on the E400s either (although not as good as a single decker) I'd also imagine the ALX300s would suit that front .
RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
Hi been reading stagecoach on Teesside buses time that buses 27167'168 have been done but hasn't come on buses time table yet of new colours
RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
I think the black light surrounds looked more modern on the enviros and I’m disappointed they’ve decided to change them. I hope to god they aren’t going to paint the MMCs light surrounds too.

BusTimes.org depends on people sending in updates for information such as that - you could always submit an update yourself   Smile

That way of doing things has its advantages and disadvantages.  As you've noted, sometimes information doesn't get updated in a timely manner because no-one's actually reported the change to the site.  However, there have been cases of misinformation being provided to the site, which then gets uploaded as fact and needs to be corrected; whether accidental, deliberate or sometime just enthusiast froth, it results in the data being less useful to those making reference to it.
