Spotted this bus last night on the 77 and it now has the extra 2 added to its fleet number.

Therefore, when this occurs and it doesnt get sorted out they will then get another company to provide the service. Common sense really isnt it.

yes but they would not tell that company to stop the service until they got a replacement sorted is what i was trying to say

Never mind, interesting to see what these Enviros look like with the standard livery.

dont Worksop East Midlands have some longer versions in this livery?

Seems they do yes... http://www.flickr.com/photos/63730085@N0...9728871896 Either these were the first Enviro200s judging by the fleetnumbers or they were repainted from a previous green version of full Stagecoach livery.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
They were funded by the local council, and then bought by Stagecoach. When new they were painted in a green/red version of swoops, and then repainted into corporate colours straight over the top. However all of the Worksop examples are now in normal Enviro200 livery.

36077 looks fine from the front, it's just the upper white side panels near the front which look messy.

What happened to the Double Decker Stagecoach inherited from Bluebird - V221LGC ? Did it get withdrawn? Just, I haven't seen it in service yet.

There are plenty of photos of it in service under Stagecoach ownership on Flickr - from memory, most photos that I've seen are of it on the 112.
