It would appear that Arriva have decided to change the Route displays,at first i saw it on 2837,which made me think it was specifically that bus  which is used for the 555,but then i saw it being used on the 553 when i was doing my shopping in Wallsend, about half an hour ago i was coming back from my local shop and saw a decker on the 308 with the same display,i kinda like it,especially with having rubbish eyesight,you can actually see the route numbers again

Yes, I noticed they changed the font in Durham, around the same time they added the thank you key workers message.

Been like that for a few weeks, especially Jesmond.

But the update still thinks the 54 serves Four Lane Ends !!!!
Wouldnt surprise me if the 54 isnt the only one with wrong via points

306 & 308 show Silverlink as a via point, but they only stop on sliproads.  Quite a hike from Newcastle bound stop !!

Technically the whole of the road from the roundabout, including the roundabout, to Cobalt is Silverlink not just the retail park.
