GRS Travel

The way I read the legislation it does not say how a display has to be programmed for via points. The same with the guidelines from centro.

13.—(1) Save as provided in paragraph (2), no vehicle shall be fitted with a lamp which automatically emits a flashing light.

As a scrolling destination requires an led to flash on & off then this would technically not be allowed.
Yes it would be really pinigaty for someone to pull an operator up on,  but we all know there can be some awkward people out there with nothing better to do. So why take the chance

If we are being totally picky then all lights would not be allowed as the current automatically emits a fast flashing light.
It's just how far one wants to go. But if I had to have a scrolling display on a bus I would and if someone tried it I would put up a strong defence to say that that was the only way to show the stops on the display. Which in some cases is true.

The LED still flashes on a static display it just doesn't move.

anyone no the full address of this operator as looking on street view I type in 38 black lake and all you can see is houses thanks.

[fleetline6477]

38 Black Lake is a house which I assume is where the owner lives. The buses are currently parked in a yard in Hare Street, Bilston which was previously where Joe's Travel were. Before this the buses were parked in a yard which doubled as a car wash further down the main road from Black Lake close to Wednesbury centre.

1st GRS Travel Dart I've seen on the 11C seen this morning at Yardley Swan around 9am couldn't get ID.

1st GRS Travel Dart I've seen on the 11C seen this morning at Yardley Swan around 9am couldn't get ID.

Did it have a scrolling display (R182VLA/P202OLX Pointers/R404FFC Wright Crusader with Hanover LEDs) or a static LED Display with a cream curve on the side? (t201/202 Marshalls with Brighttech displays)?

Or R923RAU...best bus in the fleet!

[Bryan]

Wright Crusader bodied Dart R404 FFC in Acocks Green on 10 November 2014, working an 11E in a clockwise direction.

I never thought they'd be using that short!

[PM]

A while since anyone's posted in here!

Anyone seen how the 11's doing? Better than it did under Joe's travel?

I've seen R404FFC has been used, presume the other darts have also been on there at some point including R923RAU, the best of the bunch

@DiamondDart I went on 404 last Friday and it was busy. 15 down but busy.

Ooh, an @ mention, how exciting! I'd forgotten that was back!!

That's good, I wonder how many buses they've actually got on there?

The 11 is a busy route undoubtedly it's just hard to compete in terms of level of resources required...

Thanks for the info!

[the trainbasher]

@DiamondDart they've got 4.

2 on the A and 2 on the C.

They run with one starting each way then another one half hour behind then 2-3 hour gap til the next one
