GRS are a laughing stock it's like they don't want passengers. The other day I tried to flag down one of them at the first stop after Dudley bus station. The turban guy driving looked and decided he didn't want me so drove past. Joke was on him as I got on the 310 behind which promptly overtook allowing me to swap onto his bus at Russells Hall. Was expecting him to not bother going into the hospital.

There's also a notice on one of their buses advertising a holiday with GRS for £15 lol.

They used a dart for a 100 mile plus trip up the M6?

I see on your photostream you programmed R404FFC with GRS displays-do you know if this has been acquired by them or is still part of the assets of the defunct Joe's Travel?

Cheers :)

So what do folks think of the new destination display style?

Really like it tbh!! Clear and wasy to read though it would be nice to see the areas either side of the new display painted black. The key will be ensuring text isn't cut off on certain buses and that all drivers use them correctly!!

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Yes. Those people with poor eyesight are a pain. They might fall over when he's racing other buses.  Better not let them see the service number
