Oddities, defects, faults - things wrong with NX vehicles (Reports Only/No Comments)

On 6706 this evening, two things I noticed:

1) the upstairs LED display (for next stop announcements) is dead - not displaying anything, though the audio announcements were playing.

2) the CCTV monitor upstairs was only showing the front 'traffic camera' view, none of the interior camera views.

6764, based on the screen downstairs,  the cctv pictures are unviewable!

The bottom deck stop light on 4425 is attached to the luggage rack instead of behind the stairs

The upper deck displays on 5422 were both not working. There were also no announcements on a route that should have them (WN1).

There also appears to be a broken mounting for the front destination display on 4310; when I had it on the 79 a few days back it was bouncing all over the place.

Following the relocation of the from-city Fulham Road stop further southwards on Stoney Lane in Sparkhill, it would seem the 'geolocation' of this stop in the NSA system needs to be adjusted for the 2 and 3 routes, as it is already announcing the 'next stop is Clifton Road' as the buses are pulling up at the new Fulham Road stop.

4897 has 4896's registration plate.

YW's 1917 seems to have some kind of 'dicky' relay that controls the saloon lighting - while the vehicle is (usually) moving, you'll hear this 'clicking' noise coming from one of the upper bulkheads, which coincides with the saloon lights flickering.

It's quite loud, but it definitely sounds to me like the noise a switching relay would make.
