‘Scene’ at the Buses Festival 2021 ‘Stagecoach’ on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The annual ‘Buses Festival’ in 2021 was held at the ‘East of England Showground’ which is near Peterborough.

 

An interesting selection where all the fleet liveries carried by ‘Stagecoach’ over the years were available in one place.

 

M202 LHP ‘Stagecoach MIDLAND RED’ No. 202.

I liked the first ‘Stagecoach’ livery. 

 

Often referred to as the ‘Starsky and Hutch’ livery after the car used by two American detectives in the TV series of that name.

 

It was new, it was bright and It was smart when kept clean (which mostly it was). 

 

The other advantage was that it could not be mistaken for any other company.

 

New to ‘Stagecoach MIDLAND RED SOUTH’.

The latest livery, and considering the impending ‘merger’ with ‘national express’, probably not the last.

 

New to ‘Selkent’.

Obviously from the livery, its layout and a ‘Stagecoach’ group fleet

number, it was formerly a ‘Stagecoach’ vehicle.

 

New, numbered 542 to ‘Fife Scottish’. 

 

More recently with ‘Stagecoach in Cambridge’.
