ukbus 6532 Stagecoach South – Sussex Brain Bus
Following the significant success in launching the brand new casting of the Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC model in the liveries of National Express West Midlands, Stagecoach in Oxfordshire, Bluestar, Stagecoach West Scotland, Southern Vectis, Stagecoach South, Ensign Bus, Xplore Dundee, Stagecoach North West, Go North East, Stagecoach North Scotland and Go South Coast, Northcord Model Company is now releasing the nineteenth livery on the 10.9 metre long, single-door casting – ukbus 6532 in the livery of Stagecoach South with full branding for Sussex Brain Bus.
ukbus 6532 represents fleet number 10945 (SN18 KNJ) that has 10.9 metre, single door bodywork and was new to Stagecoach South in 2018. 10945 originally carried a full and branded livery for route 700 Coastliner (as replicated on ukbus 6520 by sister bus 10942 / SN18 KNF in January 2021) and then was wrapped to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in early 2022 (as replicated on ukbus 6529 in July 2022).
The Sussex Brain Bus, as said, is one of the Stagecoach South 700 Coastliner fleet running from Brighton to Littlehampton, and is emblazoned with art and information about dementia research and tips for keeping brains healthy. It is a joint project between psychology researchers at the University of Sussex and a local artist, Daniel Locke. Ideas for the bus design were crafted from workshops run by the researchers with members of the local Brighton community.
The aim of the event was to encourage conversations about dementia – which affects nearly one million people across the UK - and how people can keep their brains healthy. The Sussex Brain Bus was official launched at Hove Lawns on 24th March 2023.
ukbus 6532 carries a full, branded livery for Sussex Brain Bus, showing the destination to Littlehampton. The special, comprehensive livery and branding are 100% reproduced onto the ukbus 6532 model. The stand-out features of the branding are : “think brain health” on the front and on the rear; “reducing the risk of dementia”, “USB charging” and “sussexbrainbus” on the nearside; “happy healthy head” and “sussexbrainbus” on the offside; “www.sussexbrainbus.org”, “Alzhelmer’s Research UK” and “US UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX” on the rear.
The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC ukbus 6532 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square, gasket-mounted windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the ukbus 6532 model is its single tree protector at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with curved windscreens on both upper deck and lower deck.
Northcord Model Company is also creating new design standards within the interior of both saloons. These features, inside the compartments, will represent the real, outstanding layout of the Enviro400 MMC, such as the extensive portrayal of handrails on upper deck and lower deck, etc.
