Are there any plans to repaint any Stagecoach North East buses into the Coronation livery that shows here on Carlisle’s 10015 here (picture by Lee Wardle of Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancs)?

Probably not since they didn't for the Platinum Jubilee (or 20 years ago for the Golden Jubilee) unlike other Stagecoach divisions for both.

Highly doubt although 10014 is scheduled to be at LN51 at the weekend and MetroCentre Rally next weekend, seen other divisions doing a better version of the coronation livery than this, looks like Cumbria had a spare tins of navy blue and red from the beachball days to get through.

They probably won’t now because if they do it won’t be finished for the coronation.

It was lucky to get Walker to agree to the ALX400s. He's not interested.

Finally back in service after repaint, Slatyford's 19204

<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

36975 is now sporting a full rear advert for Northumbria Uni.

The final two of Slatyford's MAN 18.240/Alexander Enviro 300's have re-entered traffic in the local livery

Not seen it reported yet but 22341 just left Middlesbrough bus station in the new livery

For some reason 28038 has been painted into local. Allegedly, they've been sold and will be withdrawn in September so not sure what's happening (makes me think the buyer is another SC subsidiary)

Strange when the excuse was nothing to paint, yet 36968 remains the sole E200 in Beachball, as 19387 does re E400 The sale of buses and the gas plant was known.

Not to mention the three E200s at South Shields, about 45 deckers at Byker and a mix of deckers (one still in Club 22 branding), E200MMCs, Dotty E300s and handful of E200s at Slatyford (not to mention whatever's left at the Transit end)...makes the selection of a gas bus even more weird if the rumours of sale are true.

The unexpected repaint of 28038

When are Stockton E200 mmc going to be repiant in new colours there is one done?

The older E200 MMC at Newcastle will probably be done before Stockton's

Thanks for info mate

What is happening with the gas buses in Sunderland then?
Was it true we are getting hybrids from Newcastle?
When’s this all happening?
