RE: GNE Next Stop Annouments - Dan - 28 Feb 2016
(27 Feb 2016, 8:41 pm)digital_devilz Where can i get these. Ive got Helen
This software is not available for free on the public domain, and, unlike Helen, has not been leaked (at least to my knowledge).
The Next Stop Announcement screens on TFT monitors are built within Microsoft PowerPoint. As citaro5284 stated above; Hanover have built software to allow its customers to try out different things besides a basic PowerPoint, such as a Lineplan Editor. This creates a basic PowerPoint in 'line plan' format, then it is up to the customer to 'tart it up' afterwards.

(27 Feb 2016, 4:45 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com So the 0650 x36 from downhill will now use a mpd
Yes - the 0651 X36 from Downhill, which arrives into Park Lane at 0715, runs onto the 0717 38 to Rainton Bridge (and as such should be allocated an MPD).

No - 628 and 8319 today. The former is the incorrect allocation.
MPD 565 is the vehicle on service 237.

Liking the look of this dan. Which buses will be trialed on?
Arrivas buses do it in the Haymarket when they are reversing.

No good on the B9TLs on the TEN which only have the route number on the rear - and little point having it on the front IMO.

Arrivas Buses only have route numbers on the rear and it has Bus on topline and reversing is scrolling.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2016 - Ambassador - 28 Feb 2016
I suppose it could clear up complaints at ES. If bus reversing message on, you ain't getting on

I'd say there's a very good reason for having it on the front. I can think of four bus stations off the top of my head, where buses have to reverse out of the stands. Hence you have a problem of people running towards the bus doors, as it's reversing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that having a warning destination will rid the world of idiots, but it'll certainly reduce the number trying to board a reversing bus.

Only Blyth vehicles are programmed with the Bus Reversing screen when they reverse. I'm told it's due to a couple of incidents in Blyth bus station.

All buses have it programmed in. Just the majority aren't linked up.

I always wondered why only Blyth had them, and I knew that they have the Ashington/Blyth/Jesmond files programmed, so I thought that the reason I was given was a bit inaccurate!

6091's stop announcements are really quiet,think the volume needs turning up.

Thanks - I'll have a look at this in the future when service 56's Next Stop Announcements are updated to the new style (or sooner, if I can catch it on a morning).

(26 Feb 2016, 9:55 pm)Davie I wish they were for Washington, especially if it means 6042 can transfer out. If any more are to arrive, I reckon they be based at either Chester Le Street or Stanley.
Yeah, I've heard they're getting quite a few more Streetdeck's meaning the Omnidekka's can be cascaded up here.
B&H are getting 24 dual-doored Streetdecks. Some of the Omnidekkas that will be indirectly replaced have been suggested for use at Metrobus.
Hope this helps.

I heard that the other day too, I do hope we get some more though in the NE.

Not sure if it has been noted or not.
When heading to the tip earlier, I noticed one of the recently repainted Gemini's from Washington sporting an advert on its o/s.
One to keep an eye on with regard to the rebrands?
