Hi Simon,

Do you know what the problem is with the destination displays at Bolton again? It doesn't seem to be one type as I've seen at least one of each type of vehicle with paper displays in the front. It's been going on for around a month I'd say now. Doesn't look at all professional.

I am not aware of any problems.  New Buses have continued to arrive.  Do you know what bus, date, etc?

As you probably know we don't operate the 4M.  We do, have it on our blinds.  Do you know which vehicle?  Date?  Time?

I must say, I've notice similar. The new buses seem fine, it's the others.

On another note, some of the destinations have been reprogrammed with either the destination number on the left (slightly unusual way round) or on the right but is quite small, for example the 501 or the 575 destination blinds. Maybe that will change this week when the service changes happen.

It was yesterday evening didn't get any further details as it wasn't at a stand so assumed the driver would change it.

Thanks

@Simon Dunn 20888 on the 25 to Ward End today has a faulty front display. It was displaying "25252525..." squashed in on the front dsiplay earlier. No destination displayed like they normally would.

They are working through the problems.  The New buses are all Mobitech blinds and are uploaded remotely. 

We are working through any buses with blind issues

I will get our Engineers to look at it

Thank you

Do you as an operator prefer Hanover or Mobitec? Is there a massive price difference?

Apologies for the delayed reply but not been out as much. However I spotted 32211 on a 507 today around 16:15. Paper destination on the front and 575 on the rear.
Some vehicles have been reprogrammed by the looks of it where the number at the front is on the offside however the font seems to be a lot smaller than previously. Just a bit of inconsistency across the fleet.

On another point, really like the positive branding on the 163 Streetdecks and the publicity around it. However the an advert has been stuff over the rear imagery of 40779 which defeats the objective. Is this a mistake or will they even get side adverts too?
