(02 Mar 2020, 6:37 pm)Dan wrote The blue bumper looks a lot cleaner, but seems to deviate away from the standard set by UK Bus? There's another bus in Cumbria with 'panda eyes'. Placement of the Stagecoach logo on the O/S, and indeed the fleet number font/colour on the front, also seems to differ between the two repainted Enviro400s in the Newcastle fleet. Even the wheelchair logos on the front destination are different.

Whilst these details won't be noticed by an ordinary customer, and the point about the vinyl placement is being extremely nitpicky, I'm very surprised UK Bus haven't set specific guidelines on this kind of thing, given it's a major re-brand and a big step-change in their corporate identity (whether we like it or not!) I do recall seeing something of a guideline sheet when the new identity was first revealed, so perhaps (even more surprisingly) local regions aren't sticking to the set guidelines?

It's 15698 (PX60 BFA) - https://www.flickr.com/photos/stagecoachuk/49587823232/

Looks awful to be a brutally honest, ours look a lot better with the Blue front bumper then the Yellow over the lights/grill.

The bit of Blue on 15698 sticks out like a sore thumb between the door and the wheelchair ramp, furthermore with the blue on the front of the bus I would've brought that back further than what it is currently aligned as there is far to much white going from the mid point of the vehicle towards the front of it for my liking, I would've personally brought the blue back as far as the first lower deck window with curve of the blue starting just after the wheel arch but before where the legal lettering is and curving up towards the second upper deck window to which I think would look a hell of a lot better.

I have no comments on the rear of the vehicle as I think that looks fine.
