Stagecoach has finally unveiled its long-awaited new livery. Three new and complementary schemes will be introduced across the UK to suit the breadth of services that it operates, the business says.

Stagecoach new livery in three partsRebrand heralds smarter travel, says Griffiths

Each design has been influenced by feedback from thousands of customers, the group continues. Those respondents contributed thoughts on how the designs would suit them, and what will encourage them to use public transport more regularly.

Responses showed that 69% of customers often find it confusing to find the bus they want. Based on that, Stagecoach has created “a simplified and clearly colour-coded design.” The group promises that all 8,400 of its vehicles will be treated within three years.

Stagecoach new livery in three parts

Stagecoach’s roundel logo is retained as part of the new identity. However, the group says it has been “rejuvenated, modernised and simplified.” The ‘beachball’ will be adopted across everything that it offers.

Local buses will receive a blue, green and yellow version of the scheme. Those used on “specialist” services – including park-and-ride, sightseeing and University routes – will make more of green.

Longer distance routes, including those operated by coaches, will be captured by a yellow-based livery. Stagecoach says it is still evaluating whether the Gold identity will be absorbed by that scheme.

It is also unclear what will happen to zero-emission buses. At least one BYD ADL Enviro400EV for Manchester has been seen in overall green with branding.

Rebrand heralds smarter travel, says Griffiths

Stagecoach Group Chief Executive Martin Griffiths says the new branding will be introduced together with further new buses including zero-emission models, “smart technology, and better journeys.”

Mr Griffiths adds: “We are modernising and simplifying our products and services to make bus travel the smarter and easier choice.

“Over the next year, our customers will start to see new innovations and intuitive changes to their Stagecoach services. We hope that will bring greater ease of use to all journeys.”

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."
