Stagecoach (South) Limited,[1] trading as Stagecoach South, is a bus operator providing services in South East England as a subsidiary of Stagecoach. It operates services in Hampshire, Surrey, and Sussex with some routes extending into Brighton and Wiltshire. It operates 487 buses from eight depots.
It is branded as four sub-divisions: Stagecoach in Hampshire, Stagecoach in Hants & Surrey, Stagecoach in the South Downs, and Stagecoach in Portsmouth.
A common feature of this division was the large number of branded routes, usually with dedicated names in lieu of numbers. These were largely reverted to numbers in the 2020s.[2]
