Stagecoach Devon have also painted an ALX 400 in stripes aswell, these are images i have found on facebook from one of the enthusiasts page, i think it looks really smart
RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
It would be good to see the 1986 livery again. As a 13 year old in 1986, I loved the PTE livery and the Busways one too. However, I would go further, let’s reverse Bus deregulation! Transfare tickets, 5 Rider Carnets , they take me back.

Azure Blue, Amber Yellow, Teal Green & White Base is for Stagecoach Local Services, Plain Amber Yellow for Long Distance i,e, Coach Operated Services with the exception of Megabus/Scottish Citylink and Ocean Green for Specialist to which I believe only two vehicles has received this livery thus far 15915 (GN13 HJE) with Stagecoach South East and 27882 (FT13 OVN) based with Stagecoach East Midlands.

Stagecoach In Manchester have also made an adaptation of the "Local Livery" with an Azure Blue and Base White Livery for it's "Magic Bus" operations.

"Specialist" is being applied to some of the Trident / ALX400s in Bristol intended for school and closed contract work.  Think 18420 has already been done, with 18421 and 18422 to follow.

Edited to add:  Just seen a photo of 18422 in "Specialist" livery, so that's definitely been done!

Stagecoach repaints not include a repanel? For a freshly repainted vehicle, the dents don't half make that look a tad scruffy. Every GNE repaint comes out immaculate, hell even the annual ANE repaint comes out in better condition than that has.

It took me a while to notice the dented panels over the wonky logo
RE: Stagecoach North East - Recent Repaints
It was 3 months ago repaint and panels looked fine at the time judging by photos when first done. I think the white base livery makes it more noticeable than it would have before

And edited again (well, replied to and quoted, actually!) to confirm that I've now seen photos of both 18420 and 18421 in the Specialist livery as well.

So, if you wish to experience the Specialist livery, you'll want to get yourself down to Bristol and seek out ALX400s 18420, 18421 and 18422.  They seem to work standard services fairly regularly as well, if you want to ride them!
