New livery for Shearings coaches as part of rebrand
SHARE

Leger Shearings Group has announced a rebrand of the Shearings identity. That work includes a new livery for coaches used on Shearings work and a repositioning of the customer proposition.

The blue and yellow anchor colours are retained on vehicles, albeit with a deeper tone of the former. An early coach to be treated is a Neoplan Tourliner operated by Leger Shearings Group partner Unicorn Travel of Wrexham. It is christened Whitby Houston.

Leger purchased the Shearings brand and assets in 2020. The rebrand will come into force from 19 December and is described as holistically representing “a complete change in tone” for Shearings. More casual brochure language and changes to its layout and photography and writing style are further components of the overhaul.

A “more meaningful” logo also comes with the workover. Leger Holidays CEO Liam Race says that the business purposely retained the Shearings brand as-is from acquisition to recognise its customer base’s loyalty. “We didn’t want to alienate any customers with major changes too soon,” he adds.

Nevertheless, the group has been researching travellers’ opinions in the background. Those have helped to shape the new brand, Mr Race continues. “We found that the edges were becoming blurred between coach holiday companies. We were all looking the same; we wanted Shearings to stand out and be the first choice,” he explains.

Customer research extended to neuromarketing technology and electroencephalography (EEG), which records electrical activity of the brain.

Participants in that were invited to Leger’s head office in Rotherham to undertake the EEG study. 62 pieces of content were tested. Actual reactions to those were measured across attention, engagement, excitement, interest, relaxation, and stress.

Anxiety around travelling was identified as a particular issue. Mitigating that is thus key to the new tagline, carried on coaches, of hassle-free holidays. It is also leveraged in brochure wording. A TV and radio campaign will be mounted as part of promotion of the new brand for Shearings.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
