I was in Southport yesterday and a Stagecoach 125 branded gold passed me on the X2 and it promoted me to question why, when you have a recognised, and good, corporate livery, bother with other ones. Stagecoach now have a plethora of liveries. There are gold, hybrid, magicbus, the wave, coastlines etc. etc. Are the customers in parts of the Wirral a better class than this in Merseyside or Manchester and have gold buses? What is the point of magicbuses as they mainly 'compete' with there own company? Sheffield have now started re-painting hybrids into corporate colours and they look far better than the turgid green. Surely it is not only confusing for customers when a gold or magicbus turns up on the wrong route and do they really care? From a company point of view it would surely save money to have one livery when transferring vehicles from one place to another? Go Ahead have local liveries Arriva have other liveries, e.g Sapphire and Yorkshire Tiger. Almost all other firms in the transport sector have a corporate livery. Interested in what people think.
