36552 on the 61 i was told today that Bromley have temporarily 'decommissioned' a few double deck buses as they wont be needed due to this virus. They have basically got a refund on the road tax and will sit at TB until normal service is restored.

Found a picture of 36661 with the new logo on Flickr - flic.kr/p/2iHYaaN (Credit to BusesInLondon_396) One of the comments says the logo looks really childish. I’m sorry to say but I have to agree, it really doesn’t suit red buses imo 🤷🏻♂️ I think other than the oversized writing, it looks better than I expected - calling it childish personally sounds over the top.

Its better than the Arriva logo.Their one looks like it's just scribbled on with a board marker.

I'm sure others will like it and say it's different.

I'm still using this bus 61 for work early.

It looks quite pleasing aesthetically for me personally. I think the old logo worked with the London fleet as it contained a small amount of red, as well as matching the interior colours. If Stagecoach do introduce a new interior scheme in London, the new logo would definitely look more cohesive. I expect we'll also see a white version of the new logo to be applied to the LTs on the 8 & 55.

A photo has been posted on one of the Facebook groups (The Londoner I think.) To kill 2 birds with one stone, there's a bit of banditry- it's on the 366 but front number blind stuck on 167. ServerKing will as happy as I am a new logo has finally appeared Lol I saw this on FB as well, hopefully new buses for the 174 will have them too... though hopefully by then we can go out to see them

I think the whole idea of their new logo is for it to be in your face, because they want to be proud of their service, but I still prefer cleaner look of most other company logos which are not over-advertising their company.

That wont be coming to London, I thought the First livery was bad, but the new Stagecoach livery makes the new First livery look pristine.

More like in your toilet bowl instead of in your face. That logo is NOTHING to be proud of. When they replaced the original logo and livery in 2001 that was something to be proud of, this one now is a monstrosity.

I actually think the current First livery is an improvement over the barbie one, really hated that bright pink colour and much prefer the purple instead. Both the current Arriva livery & the new Stagecoach one are awful IMO - Arriva should of stuck with the interurban livery whilst Stagecoach really should have a rethink.
