6887 - X21, Weoley Castle.

I've noticed that the next stop announcements seem to stop when a route is adjusted early.

I'm sure they've worked when i've been on a X2 short to Yardley Swan from Solihull, but then again those are timetabled.
There certainly seems to be a connection between those next stop announcements and the destination displays as well though - there were no next stop announcements on 6853 on a X2 to Birmingham this afternoon as the driver had not changed the display from X2 Solihull so they were stuck displaying "Solihull Railway Station"

Yeah it makes that noise that it does when the display is being changed and then cuts out the rest of the announcements.

1884 - 4H short to West Brom northbound, 14:30 Sandwell and Dudley Station

[I love Walsall buses]

1884 - 4H short to West Brom northbound, 14:30 Sandwell and Dudley Station

I always wonderd does the 4H or 4M have an E or not

44xx (didn't see all the fleet number) 97E Shirestone Road at 0745 this morning passing Selfridges. It's been a long time since i saw this and it was great to see "E" instead of "Short Journey"

[Stu]

6 to Robin Hood Island. The inverse 'Short Journey' text doesn't really work on flip-dot displays in my opinion, which are hard to read at a distance at the best of times, just looked a garbled mess!
