Destination displays

[Jack]

Yeah it looks horrible, my personal favourite was the one they used between 2019 - mid 2022, does anyone know what it's called?

The static ones? Also awful showing 1 via point.

Ugly Super X.

Super X was/is very popular at Arriva - not sure there's any benefit to passengers in the way the destinations are displayed but it does look good.

6894 on the X22 this evening with the defective scrolling display - showed 'via Woodgate' for a split second then started again.

Didn't catch the fleet number but a city-bound X20 this evening seemed to be stuck on "thfield and Selly Oak" on the 'via' scrolling line.

I saw an X22 platinum blind that was glitching, didn't get fleet number. Also saw an X20 coming into Birmingham, still displaying Birmingham but also saying that it was a short journey. If it's going to the final destination, even if it has done a short working is there any point in displaying that?

And are all buses going to switch to scrolling displays?

I know that the 63 inbound scrolls on the platinums.

The digital displays on London buses if you're trying to photograph them. They look a mess.

I meant to add at night. During the day they're as you say legible.

I thought destination displays would usually come out better during the night...

Displays have different settings for night and day. The reason you see some normal LEDs looking faint is the light sensor thinks it's dark so puts the Displays on night setting
