This is a hybrid Enviro for Stagecoach Manchester, not East. It was a former ADL demo, not Norfolk Green

I meant the same enviro 400 styling should’ve clarified
The Wheel gap looks quite distant from other Enviro 400... unless I've never noticed.

Has the new beachball logo been applied to any Stagecoach London bus?
I've seen some pictures of them on Flickr.

Just saw this photo of Stagecoach South West's E200MMC YX65 RCZ posted on another thread, and... oh dear...
www.flickr.com
They've painted over the shiny black trim at the front, which turns the asymmetry from an interesting and quirky design feature to an absolute mess.
What is supposed to be part of a circle at the front has now turned into a nondescript swoosh.
The fleet number looks awkwardly cramped in.
Look at the rear wheelarch - the way the blue circle intersects it is horrible.
The white abyss for the Stagecoach logo looks like it's been slapped on aimlessly and doesn't follow the lines of the vehicle at all.
Worst of all, the logo itself is off-centre. At first, I thought it was just the mess of a background it's on which was causing it to look like that. But no - look at the number plate, which is actually centred - compared to that it's obviously off-centre.
This is possibly the first repaint I've seen, where I've felt they really need to just send it back and do it again, properly.
It might seem a bit extreme to nit-pick to this degree, but firstly, I'm interested in these things and enjoy fixating on the details (and I've got nothing better to do on a Saturday evening
).
But secondly - that bus is probably going to be running around in that livery for the rest of its useful life and Stagecoach is Britain's biggest bus company - having a paint job that looks worse than some Joe Bloggs' Friendly Local Bus Services Limited type outfits is not something to be proud of!
Enviro 200MMC on the Falcon
Stagecoach South West, YX65 RCZ 26036, making an unusual appearance, on the Falcon service, which connect Bristol & Plymouth. To make this possible, Stagecoach has split the route into 5 parts, which in turn means its classed as a standard service route, and so no tachograph is needed.

I agree, they've taken a nice modern design and butchered it pretty muchJust saw this photo of Stagecoach South West's E200MMC YX65 RCZ posted on another thread, and... oh dear...

I actually like the new livery imo but I agree with you about the black part - they should have extended the paint up to the screenwash word.

Thanks for that, much appreciated!
I agree they have butchered it - not so sure it was either nice or modern to start with though!
And whatever vehicle type they apply it to seems to make it look like something from the 90s!

That MMC could certainly have been done better!
In other news, Grimsby depot's latest repaint was another Wright Eclipse bodied B7RLE, 21269.
This brings Grimsby's allocation of buses in the new livery to 9, as follows:
27202 (formerly in now obsolete Humber Flyer livery), 27189, 27198 (acquired from elsewhere already painted), 37197, 37198, 37200, 37207, 21264, 21269

I wasn't complaining about the livery in general, but rather the application of it on that specific vehicle!

Recent repaints at Grimsby have seen 27201 and 37190 added to the single decks, and a start finally made on the deckers, with 19052 treated first, and 19014 soon following.
27198 moved away to pastures new so the current allocation in the new livery here is 12 buses.
19015 hasn't been in service for over a week, so could perhaps be next?
Posts concerning the Sheffield Supertram have been moved to the appropriate thread:
Will the Supertram be Rebranded?
Stagecoach are obviously rebranding all their buses. However, are they going to be rebranding the super tram as that currently uses Stagecoach’s old colour scheme?

Ultimately, yes. Unless they modify them as per the Coastline 700 and Falcon with a smaller bit of route branding, the livery will predominately be the now standard white based scheme.

I believe some have been painted into the local livery with no hop branding
