What really annoyed me, where some stops were listed incorrectly.

The next stop down from me is Addenbrooke Street, not Addenbrook Road(Mind you Centro hasn't helped by labelling the stop incorrectly too!), then 2 stops down from the Walsall NX depot is Forest Lane, not Forest Avenue.

Think you'll find the next stop information is produced by Hannover using the stop names in the NaPTAN database. That's why Centro's errors are carried through.

Just read on the Route One website that the next Sapphire route will be the X3 in Leicester, later this year

That is interesting that passenger growth on the 110 has increased by 10% as well. So it begs the question surely in this day an age all modern buses should have usb connections and wifi.

WiFi makes sense but it will come at a cost to the operator. Is it worth it for them? As for USB connections, on normal local service buses I can't see the extra cost and associated maintenance being worth it on any vehicle.
