The latest recipient of Stagecoach ‘Local’ livery here is Ecclesfield-based Enviro 200 36409, which re-entered service following repaint this morning. Also freshly repainted and back in service here is 36408.

Stagecoach East Midlands
Further to our news item yesterday on planned vehicle changes from this weekend we are reminded that a number of the decommissioned vehicles are already back in service. As a case study at Lincoln 27194 returned to use on June 1st, 27633/34/35/37 and 36712 on July 6th, 27636 on July 9th and 18392 on August 8th. 27638 remained operational throughout ‘lockdown’.

Stagecoach West
Repainted here into Stagecoach ‘Local’ livery is Enviro 200 36391 whilst undergoing repaint is Scania/Enviro 300 28686, which will lose its route 41 branding. This vehicle had been regularly used on the Cheltenham-Oxford service for which its route branding was inappropriate.
