Stagecoach Repaint Updates

[Jordan Adam]

Does anyone know a list of buses scrapped / withdrawn - not to reenter service since repaint?
Another list is buses that have been out of service for more than a month since repaint.

I have listed below vehicles in the North Scotland region that have been repainted and are currently withdrawn, have been disposed of or repainted in to a different livery.

It was involved in a collision with a Forklift in February 2021.

Road closed after bus and forklift collide between Kinloss and Findhorn

THE B9011 has been closed as a result of the incident.

POLICE officers and emergency services are currently in attendance after a two-vehicle crash on the B9011 between Kinloss and Findhorn this morning.

A bus and a forklift have collided on the road. It is understood nobody is seriously hurt.

Police were called to the scene at 9.20am, with the road currently remaining closed. Due to the nature of the crash, it may take some time to clear the road.

The public are asked to avoid the area where possible.

Ah right, thanks. That was a bit before I started following the buses so I wasn't aware of that.

Sounds like the special livery for Auld Betty's Jubilee, seen here:

Stagecoach unveil Platinum Jubilee buses in the South of England

As the country prepares to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this summer, bus operator, Stagecoach South, has unveiled 2 platinum jubilee themed buses to mark this unprecedented anniversary.

I've no idea how many they plan to do throughout the country, nor about the identity of the vehicle that you saw.
