Helen isn't available for free by legitimate means anymore, so anyone who doesn't already have it won't be able to do that.
I don't know how long or why this was on my PC, but messed around with it a bit.

If you want to get roughly the correct sized destinations - Sign 0 (front) should be either 144x17 or 144x19, 1 (side) is 96x8, 2 (rear) is 32x17. 

Non-colour destinations should be "External LED", and front "justification" should be set to right, side destination left. 

These are different throughout operators, so I'm open to correction.  Smile

Good job Jamie Smile

Thanks! May I ask, is there any list of the possible sizes used within the GNE fleet?

What size is the rear display of the CityLink 58 buses?

160x24
It's smaller than that because indigo buses use them size as rears

They are. Its just the compressed version as they couldn't use the full width ones due to the design of the bus being unable to accomodate them. The same applies to the Venture SRs.

No its not, they have exactly the same amount of LED's (160x24 = 3840) , just on the 58 vehicles the LED's are of a close pitch design. Rolleyes
Any idea of the size of the led NSA board?

144x19 - just condensed so that more LEDs are packed into a smaller space.
So it's like how the indigo solos have 160x24 and like versas have the same amount of leds but it's condensed.

Dan I've got a question for you. Is it possible for the led NSAs on to show "bus stopping" when someone presses the bell?

The software is capable of doing it - but there needs to be an electrical feed from the bells linked into the Next Stop Announcements.

I believe Brighton & Hove do this on their "Coaster" branded double-deck buses. If my memory serves me correctly, they show "Next Stop xxxxx", and when the bell is pressed, it changes to "Bus stopping at xxxxxxxxx".
Isn't that what the bus stopping signs did when b&h had the omnidekkas?

Most likely, As the Omnidekka's still flip to " Bus Stopping " on the NSA's once the bell has been pressed.

Similar, but not quite. I've searched YouTube and can't find a video on the inside of one of the Coaster buses in service.

The displays in the OmniDekkas are linked to a Hanover product but it's a bespoke thing built for Brighton & Hove (and can't be used by Go North East for example).

This is the display used by gne?
Which is used on the Londons ibus system

No, completely different.

That one is more similar to the ones in the OmniDekkas.
