What do we think of trentbarton? Their destinations are usually very clear, but they rarely comply to PSVAR guidance.
There's barely any route numbers to speak of. The display will often switch between the destination and the route brand; sometimes including descriptions such as on the red arrow 'Derby FAST'.
Then there's the issue of colour. On the Spondon Flyer, the two variations of the route are denoted by a green or blue circle where a number would usually be. On occasion where a route has a number, such as 'the two' the number is spelled rather than displayed as a digit.
All in all, it would be difficult to argue they are not being clear with their equipment. AlthoThe unconventional, I would argue they really make the most of their equipment. Do their efforts, however, make it (very) technically illegal?
(25 Mar 2016, 7:44 am)citaro5284 Under DDA regs, the route number and terminal point should always by shown on the front. If the service is registered with the TC and it has a route number, then under the rules, it must be shown at all times. If they just register the service as Rainbow (even thou their buses are not painted in rainbow colours) for example, then this needs to be shown at all times instead of the route number.
There is nothing in the regs about colour, so whilst some colours do not look good to see, they are fine with that.
As you say, its difficult to argue a case, however if the things I have mentioned above are not constantly shown, they are breaking the PSVAR rules.
