I see the X96 now has a scrolling via line, this is a small pet hate of mine, the via line has tiny writing! On the software you can change a setting to make it larger writinv, as seen on several routes such as the X51 in Walsall, 1,2,10 in Wolverhampton and 243/4 at Pensnett. Surely somebody would see sense to change them all to the larger writing? Also the miss match of some routes only having static via points whilst others have scrolling? Why not make a standard of all scrolling with larger writing? Having been at the company and working on the destination displays i know it is a bit of a ball ache but surely it would look better if it was all the same? Sorry for the vent just a small frustration of mine, especially as the large via lines are so much more clear for people with poor eye sight for example.

I prefer it with the destination bigger than the via line tbqh, the main emphasis should be on where the bus eventually goes to as 99% of passengers should know what bus to get to where - and the bigger the destination, the more chance of getting people to read it ;)

Possibly because 4 Tridents are away at WA for paint.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I'm confused @Stuharris 6360 with x10 post

He's saying since the PN's Tridents are in the process of being repainted your more likely to see other bus types than Tridents as PN will have less than normal since they're away.

There were 2 No 9's parked up at the side of the road due to road closure Stourbridge Bound.
