Thanks! I agree, although I don't think the grey goes with the yellow too well...
Stagecoach West, it was a few months ago. Their Levantes work school services, not long distance ones
Ah right, so they've been cascaded of Route as I remember seeing Pics of them working the X77.
That's a dead link.
Actually it's not... it's just that Coach and Bus magazine have blocked linking to it.
It’s T200 SGB, an ex Nat Ex coach, acquired through the purchase of Durbins. It was used on the 462, school and private hire work around Bristol, but don’t think it’s seen much use recently.
Agreed - ironic that it is on schools as it looks like a white coach that kids have had a go at colouring-in with half a tin of paint they found!
A tin of paint they found in a scrap yard next to an Arriva bus from 15-20 years ago? The shade of green almost reminds me of those really tacky 1980s leather sofas!
I agree, I don't think it will see much use for the coming Months. Could have looked better though with more Paint. The Long Distance livery looks like an American School Bus Livery.
Those X77 ones were I believe were actually former Stagecoach West on NatEx work, which after a few years went to Yorkshire. Then they went to West Scotland but were sold.
But it doesn't work long distance routes, it works school services of which West want those buses in specialist livery.

I hate green and this looks better than the normal livery.Yea can confirm it’s for schools along with 3 tridents 18420/1/2. 18421 is yet to receive specialist.

I'd say it looks like the normal livery, but made completely bland, rather than just mostly bland
No point, Stagecoach already perfected their livery with MMC Beachball.
I don't disagree, though honestly I think beachball looks considerably better on original style Enviro bodywork, where the swoopiness of the livery nicely complements the rounded shapes of the bus.
I agree, especially on the E200MMC.
it’s basically a trident in MMC style beachball

It's let down by the horizontal orange strip on the lower front dash panel (itself partly covered by the white back of a school bus sign) as it looks like they used that dash panel without worrying about matching it with it's surroundings.Just found this thing on Flickr... I can’t decide whether if it looks good or not
From what I can see none of the Presidents currently with Stagecoach have the later version (MMC) of "beachball". As policy is to repaint with the now current livery I don't think we'll see an MMC beachball liveried President.
There are about 25 Presidents at East Midlands
Ah cool, I'd love to see a new liveried President... all that matters if they do a decent enough paint job.
East Mids seem to be doing very well with the new livery. A large chunk of the fleet is repainted, and they seem to be solid repaints too! I hope we see a President soon...
It has been painted, I've only seen a photo of the rear end though.
