Before you all tell me off, I know it's not part of the Midland Red (South) fleet but it's their sister company so I'll post here...

Spotted today working a Service 41 in Tewkesbury, didn't get a fleet number, but it was a Stagecoach single-deck in Heritage livery for Cheltenham District. Looked nice (but not as good as Worcester's two ). Anyone have any details or photos?

If it was the red and cream one it has been around for a little while.

I think that was it. We were heading in opposite directions so I didn't get much chance to take a look. The text along the top would imply it's been 7-years...

I think it may be a new Enviro 300 now.

I have seen the bus AdamH refers to in Tewkesbury on numerous occasions and always meant to grab a photo but alas it was always travelling in the opposite direction

It's a very nicely done almost 'conservative' looking Heritage livery

I believe it's this bus pictured here


I will grab my own photo if the chance arises

That's the one mate

I don't think that was the one I saw... I only got a quick look at it but I'm sure it wasn't an Enviro.

Presumably this is still owned by Stagecoach and normally based at Stratford ??
I've got a feeling it's been at Stratford for a long time now, but I cannot see any mention of it in my 2003 copy of "Stratford Blue" by Robert.L.Telfer.

Does anyone know when it first came to Stratford; - and was it Ensign or Stagecoach that moved it here?

Thanks.

Yes, JJD 565D is still owned by Stagecoach (fleet number 12565) and I think is still normally based at Stratford.

Details of its history are on this site here - http://midlandred.net/vehicles/fleetlis ... 5Ejjd565d$
