The Stagecoach livery doesn't sit well on it tbh, particularly the orange above the front bumper and the blue stripe at the top which goes in completely the opposite direction to the black glass...
Surely time for a new, refreshed livery and interior?

Don't like that at all. What's that strip of orange on the front bumper? Looks like it's eaten a bowl of tomato soup at high speed and has been left with a tomato-tache.
Haha-not just me who thinks it doesn't look great then! ;D
A more simple livery sits better on the e400MMC or a livery that takes account of the design eg the Reading Buses livery.
Love the interior with what looks like one piece ceiling, like what East Lancs used a while back but the Stagecoach moquette and red floor don't half look dated:

Do you know what routes they're destined for? They look ok, but I'd have an older Enviro over it anyday

Well First have been using Quids In on former Finglands routes, basically similar low fares but with far better buses.
Stagecoach Manchester are now responding with newer buses in Magic Bus livery, that's what I meant, presumably as First are having an impact!

Looks better on the Tridents in my opinion. Presumably '06 Enviros will be branded for the 142/143?

A number of 192xx's are to be painted in Magic Bus livery and some have already been done. Ive seen a picture of one and it suits rather well apart from the white strip under the windscreen
Found when googling for a Stagecoach timetable!

Wonder if those drivers have ever heard of change vouchers. That'd stop them.

I think you mean 'I wonder if Stagecoach Manchester has every heard of change vouchers as it would help prevent their drivers letting people on for nothing as a result of having insuffient coins to give out as change.'
Not the drivers' fault here.
