Bluebird's range will stop being issued shortly. Stagecoach Smart isn't valid until the new ERG's arrive and are fitted, there should be an announcement just before the machines are fitted to say when Stagecoach Smart will be valid.

That's not what I was told yesterday when I tried to board a Stagecoach bus on a Bluebird working, when i asked for a Stagecoach Dayrider - it was either a bluebird day ticket or a anybus daysaver

I would imagine the ticket machines will change over during the one of the coming weekends.

One thing Stagecoach already seemed to have stamped there authority on is the destinations. Them daft blue flashing numbers in the front destination displays. The Solo in Ashton today had a normal orange display.
