(09 Aug 2017, 10:52 am)I Dan Not true. I suspect that the rumour relates to 4957 - this is not being withdrawn, the chassis is being repaired at Saltmeadows Road.
4956 and 4958 are also VOR today - the former for PSV test, and the latter for defects.
It's just a trial run.
A number of comments have been raised internally about the large number of via points and how nobody would be able to read them all as they scroll (so is there really any point having them), and whether it would be better to have a greater emphasis on the terminal point by having it in a larger font, and the via points smaller, on separate screens, not scrolling.
Chances are it'll be rolled out to a couple of other services to gather more opinions. It's more or less what Arriva have, really, just with a larger terminal point (which they, and other operators as a matter of fact, use in other parts of the country).
I gather a number of enthusiasts on Facebook groups weren't best pleased with the new style - but I suppose we're trying to best cater for the majority of passengers!
I think the destinations would look better if the text on the first line was smaller as its looks a bit big. Other than that they look decent
