you should see cannocks 3602, has the orange LED display on the front, 158 displayed on the side and the rear 1 always displays 25 and 3609 has 117 on the side pwermanantley
They have been like that since they came from hinckley I bought them to Cannock in exchange for the old and refurbed pye green darts

I have noticed that on some of the Perry Barr Enviro's that came back from London, the rear display does not work.

About a month ago a WN Trident (can't remember which but I know someone who will ;D) had its front display get half-stuck on the 256 route and carried on working other routes

4572 has a faulty back and side dot matrix display and 4548's side display is posititioned oddly so you can't see most of the destination screen and also the back doesn't work either

It was 4593 matt. Remember seeing it one saturday on the 59. It was stuck on the 255 route by the way. It was like it for about a week a few weeks ago but is now fixed i believe

The side and back display was working but the front had half of the 255 destination stuck on there.

It read something like

'Wolverhamp
Via Penn Roa'

i saw a wn trident a few weeks ago running back towards garage with side destination window smashed. 4548 rings a bell. looks like the replacement window has too much blanked off so the display is partly hidden.

Coventry's 4418 has had a currupt rear blind for last five years!
Been reported to Customer Services more than once but nothing ever done.

The alx200 darts at WB are some of the worst for malfunctions the LED displays on the front are fine never an issue with them but the side and rear blinds most of the time seem to be faulty either squished up unreadable words or just not working.

There is one trident at Coventry that displays not in service and 0 on the back with the front blind only displaying the correct service and destination not sure the fleet number though.

The LED blinds on the omniliinks seem very reliable I have never seen a blind that has not been working or has a malfunction but that could just be co-incidence.

1797's rear was broken last time I saw it, although this was a year ago

I can only imagine it's to do with the mixing of LED blinds and Dot Matrix blinds although it's done succesfully on a number of other buses so no idea why the Darts have such issues
