Not liking the new colour scheme

[kacitgirl]

I'm definitely not liking Stagecoach new prison bus colour scheme lol

Living in  another country and not having any reference to your local prison buses scheme or the old Stagecoach scheme, I can't really offer my opinion. The minimalist all-dark-blue scheme with colored ads plastered on it looks to me like any modern commuter vehicle.

Interesting. Why would they change the colour of such iconic buses.

different company in a different country. edinburgh has green or burgandy buses to let you know if its city or country, aberdeen has beige and green2 tone, inverness used to be yellow and blue, dundee uses ox carts (joking) orkney used to be red and white before stagecoach took over and shetland was black and white. now almost all the between town buses are yellow stagecoach. the bus pictured is london colours

Thanks for the education on the colours, I just associate the red doubles with all of the UK 🤣 But you would expect that from a foreigner 😁

Many town corporations in the UK used to operate their own bus fleets with their own distinctive coloured iveries.

The new UK Stagecoach colours mentioned by the OP look ok to me. Stagecoach is a fleet of buses and coaches that operate nation wide in the UK as does the rival National Express fleet and Arriva.

My only experance with  those bus lines from the U.K.,  was the TV shows I see in the U.S. I always took it for granted that there was some determining factor for the colors. So thanks for the clarification. Now if only I remember the codes, I'll know just which city I seeing in the show [remember the colors,  HA! with my memory?  fat chance-sigh]

this is the normal colours and for our other major bus operators

Those other buses do/did have more attractive color schemes, but I guess whoever is in charge decided on going with the minimalism theme.
