"I would confirm that all Stagecoach Midlands United Counties Omnibus Company registrations in the Eastern Traffic Area have been cancelled and have been replaced with new Midland Red (South) Ltd registrations with effect from October 12th 2014. After that date Stagecoach Midlands will run its services under two separate operating licences - Midland Red (South) Ltd in the West Midlands Traffic Area and Midland Red (South) Ltd in the Eastern Traffic Area. We have to run under two licences as we operate in two different Traffic Commissioner areas".

It will provide the strange sight of buses operating from Northampton, Corby and Kettering depots carrying Midland Red (South) Limited legal lettering.
