Could Fleetnames be disappearing off Stagecoach Buses

I have heard that the fleetnames on all Stagecoach Buses might be removed. The fleetnames are Stagecoach in Eastbourne,Stagecoach in Hastings and Stagecoach in East Kent as well as other fleetnames all over the country.

This post shows an image of part of a Bus with the Stagecoach in Eastbourne fleetname and one without the Stagecoach in Eastbourne fleetname.

The examples are Alexander Dennis Trident 2/Enviro400 19019 ( MX06 XAU ) and TransBus Trident/ALX400 18174 ( GX54 DVT )


In my first image it shows the fleetname on MX06 XAU ( 19019 ) the bus was new to Stagecoach Manchester and Transferred over to East Sussex from there you can't see the route number but when I got a shot of part of the bus it was working route 51.
The fleetname on Enviro400 19019 ( MX06 XAU )
 My next example of a bus without the fleetname is Trident 18172 ( GX54 DVT ) it is thought to be the only ALX400 bodied Trident in Eastbourne not to have the Stagecoach in Eastbourne fleetname all the others do. In the photo the bus is seen doing a rare working on the 1A I managed to get a ride on it the day I took this photo, this is what the buses will look like without the fleetname on them.
Without the fleetname is Trident 18174 ( GX54 DVT )
If they do lose their fleetnames then they will just have Stagecoach on them.

  1. It will make them easier to switch between depots, lou, and you have quite a few depots fairly close together. Good post :)
