I thought you were a fan of the news published fortnightly on Sundays, Bazza? This had already been noted by Malarkey on the forum yesterday, hence its inclusion within the news last night.

...and I bet MPD 573 is heading that way tomorrow, because I followed it up Houghton Cut earlier with a rear window that had been caved in!

I hate any supermarket of any sort. When i grow up and get myself into a relationship more serious than the typical school ones which never seem to last longer than 2 weeks, i'll be leaving the weekly shop down to the wife! I will have better things to be doing.

As long as Home Bargains doesn't go the journey, it's all good..!

Shopping is a woman's job Tongue The typical man job is sitting at home, on the couch watching the footy or Formula 1 every weekend.

Speaking of the Quaylink Versas. 8331 is now branded in the purple version of the livery.

(13 Jul 2015, 7:50 pm)Dan Before you lot moan about the rear destination - nothing could be done with it, as the glass panel at the back of the bus has to be removed to access the destination display itself. There's no way of changing the switch setting from within the bus..!

You can do it just as easily off the controller with it only being a loan bus. Go into the menu, signs, and match sign 2 up to the one you want, i.e. change S2 * (Switch 2 default) to S2 5 (Switch 2 read Sign Number 5) if your 32x17 is usually sign number 5. It resets to default when the next operator puts their data on. You can do it in HELEN itself too, in Console Config, Modify, Signs, drop down box for Switch 2 to match the sign number you want for that bus, but you'll need to remember to change it back once you've transferred the list to the MMC.

Thanks - we were already aware of how to 'temporarily' change the switch setting via the DG3, but we wanted to avoid this as ADL did not look best pleased that we had to change switch settings.

Thankfully the route number is still visible on the rear so it doesn't affect us too greatly. I'd suggest that it's probably not the end of the world with this demonstration vehicle only being in the fleet for a period of two weeks - it will be more important to ensure everything is working as it should on the StreetDeck, which will be here for two months. To save unnecessary complications when it transfers from depot to depot, this vehicle will have to be profiled correctly through Hanover's HELEN software.
