Expect the convertables to be very leaky. Recall getting on one of their convertable Lolynes a few years back on a rainy day and there was plenty of water splashing around upstairs.

Either take on City Sightseeing franchise from Stagecoach or rental out to Corporate/Special Events.
City Sightseeing is surprisingly interesting trip btw if anyone ever fancies it

This is probably in the wrong thread,and sincerely sorry if its been answered before,anyway,i was on solo 673 yesterday on 17A from East Howdon and noticed the next stop announcement wasnt showing anything for its route,it was only showing 'Welcome Aboard the Indigo Service 41',is this just a fault with this bus or is it across the entire fleet for Indigo North Tyne,or did the 17A simply not get programmed due to its upcoming withdrawl

(04 Jul 2016, 1:29 pm)Dan Not the wrong thread as such, but I'd suggest that faults would be better off reported to me directly via Private Message or to Go North East, via Customer Services, as there's probably a large number of members of this forum who couldn't give a hoot about Next Stop Announcements not working properly!
Announcements were not programmed for service 17A due to the planned changes, at the time when the programme was initially built. The screen should show some generic messages, but due to a software issue, this sometimes does not happen on the indiGo North Tyne minibuses. If the screen does not update to show a generic message, it will instead show the route number and terminus for the last journey it operated.
Hanover have released a new version of software which fixes this issue and this will be uploaded to buses in line with the 24th July service changes. Generic messages will be shown at all times when the bus is allocated to a route which does not have Next Stop Announcements programmed.
