Quote from: MasterPlan on April 20, 2024, 07:57:06 PMNo I think Steve is right. The NSA appear to be directly linked to the destination display. Once it's changed so do the NSA. For instance sometimes a driver may change the display a few stops before the terminus, especially in the City Centre and then it'll instantly change the NSA.Yes, the system does go 'off-kilter' when the driver prematurely changes the destination on approach to Birmingham city centre.
So when it isn't changed for the return journey they never work in my experience.
I might be mistaken then, I'm sure I've boarded a 3 heading to Birmingham that still had Yardley Wood on the external destination display, but was announcing next stops correctly.

The last diesel Platinums bought and delivered were first used in September 2019, so won't be expected to be compliant until October next year.
