Just today, I noticed a Streetlite on an X3A, having a rear blind OOA.

I think it was 6028, but it was displaying 'Easington Lane' earlier.

edit: It appears underline doesn't work. Either way, the 'Easing' part of Easington, was underlined.

Yes, it's 6028 with that issue (see photo below). It developed the fault in the summer of 2014 and hasn't been fixed yet - Hanover need to come out and look at replacing the panel of LEDs it affects. The colour panel has also developed a problem since, which is why some red LEDs are shown in the route number (not shown on the photo below).

Most of Travelsure's vehicles weren't displaying destinations on Wednesday, just a board in the window. Only saw one working.

(31 Dec 2015, 2:24 pm)Adrian It'll be interesting to see if any depots send non-compliant vehicles out on the 2nd. If the worst comes to the worst, do they send a bus with a knackered rear destination out, or just bite the bullet and record the lost mileage? 


Have you been round the depots to do an audit, Dan? I'd noticed a MAN yesterday, where the illumination on the front flipdot wasn't working. That wouldn't be 'ready', would it?

The number on the front of the whey aye five o (5256) we caught the other day was flickering. We did mention it to the driver, but got a blank look.

I cannot remember if the number on the nearside comes under a 'regulation' or 'best practice'.

If its under best practice, then no, but if it is a regulation, then possible, but I doubt they will get fined (or any other operator) in the first instance.

DVSA should be policing it through spot checks. Not sure whether this will also be covered as part of an MOT going forward though?

It's always going to be a case that people will report it too, so I can't see any operators running the risk.

Apparently it is DDA, because they don't have route numbers they replace it mainly with an abbreviation of the brand name and then the places served.

TransPeak do the same, with the abbreviation as TP.

I have found it....it is under best practice:

Best Practice 
A good destination and route number display will be clearly legible by day and night and commercial advertising should not detract from them. A consistent display design is also helpful, therefore the route number should always be to the right of the destination when viewed. Other major points on the route can be included but they should not detract from the clarity of the ultimate destination. Destination displays which simultaneously show both ends of a route are confusing and should be avoided. The destination appropriate to the direction of travel should be displayed or if a circular route such information necessary to identify the direction of travel.
