The 110 service shows a ticket machine tracking

Noticed arriva decided to change the displays on the 110 again, destination displayed in all caps which im pretty sure is not allowed under PSVAR or DDA

I wonder why seats on the 110 route buses are still taped. I thought that social distancing restrictions had ended a few years ago. A complaint has been made to Arriva

Surely it's clearer to read in Capital letters?

No. It's a lot harder for people who struggle to read for various reasons

You are correct capital letters are not allowed in 
destination display in DDA regs & service numerals 
must be on the UK nearside nearest door

3736 and 3737 have finally permanently moved to derby from tamworth (normally these two were always on loan)

in return for arriva MAX citaros 3914,3920 recently released for the now closed aylesbury & high wycombe depots.
rumour is that all the scanias are to depart derby by the end of the year for pulsars so there may be more moving in the future.

I see that seats on buses are still being taped off. I thought social distancing had ended. I wonder what would happen if the tape got removed

It seems to have spread to pretty much all of Arriva Tamworth's services from the photos I've seen

Yeah, in recent days I have seen the 110 and 65 with capital lettered destinations.
