Yeah there appeared to have been a mass rollout across BC vehicles yesterday. As it wasn't like that the day before.
Regarding the screen, to be fair I was on 6845 yesterday and the NSAs stayed on the screen in between stops rather than disappearing so I'm sure it will be sorted across the board soon. I am wondering whether buses with long-term dead NSA such as 6870 and 6883 will be fixed with this update.
Also I saw a 95 go passed me yesterday morning and I was surprised it didn't have NSA I thought more routes would gain them in the new update, especially as BC only has 3 routes that don't have them.

6883 appears to have given up on Moor Street Queensway after several attempts to restart it.

7521 not tracking on X21.

Just out of curiosity, was the option of splitting the X1 at the Airport ever considered? Two routes, Cov-Airport and Airport-Birmingham?

4896 not tracking on X21. Not tracked since 17th Dec by the looks of it.

I believe every other 74 is a 74E during the day

Yes but usually the timetabled workings just say 74 West Bromwich without the E.

I'm sure there are exceptions such as buses which don't have it programmed or whatever, but yeah sometimes you might have a 74 that is timetabled to go to Dudley but cut back hence the 74E.

6909 attached to a tow truck by the Gibbins Road stop on Harborne Lane.

6819 has 907 to Birmingham stuck on the NSA screen while on the 16.

6888 appears to have lost the branding from the rear window. First X21/X22 branded bus I've seen like this.

7:00 X21 to City missing this morning. Maybe because it only does 2 trips its like oh well.

The 002 cut to run Halesowen to Merry Hill only and the X21 extended to Halesowen during the week, or least every other one.

76 to be cut back to Solihull Station to QE Hospital only. Probably with no replacement.

Idea for the NSA,
When you're arriving at the terminus, can it say:
"Next stop Solihull Station, where this bus terminates"?
Or
"Next stop Chelmsley Wood, where this bus terminates"?

I think this will really help people who don't know where the terminus is, such as tourists.
Could majorly help on 'E' routes too.

Could just change the terminus stop to say "Last stop" instead of next stop.

I think i heard that before on the 50 (I usually go all the way to Druids heath)

It must be a new update though because they used to just say "this bus terminates here"

Just boarded 6997 and the NSA screen appears to be stuck on "this is the last trip on your journey, please make sure to take everything with you, thank you for travelling with National Express West Midlands". So looks like another new change as I've not seen that before.

16 and 74 all over the place this morning.

Looks like its down to roadworks on Constitution Hill. It's taken me near enough an hour to get from Hockley to Snow Hill on the 16A.
