The problem relates to when the bus manufacturer has wired the bus up incorrectly - instead of fitting the wire to the reverse signal, it has been fitted to the ignition feed.
The bus reversing sign shouldn't work at Stanley because this wire should not be connected, but because Scania have wired it wrongly, it is shown permanently. Staff at the depot didn't turn on the ignition when updating the destination displays, so didn't notice the problem until the bus went out on the road. 6126 is due to be kept off the road tomorrow morning to be looked at.
It's hardly a regular occurrence, and has happened to about 6 vehicles in total. Less than 1% of the fleet.
