Its to cover a bus that was destroyed (8303).

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - Adrian - 03 Jan 2019 Lots of buses going to 'January App Sale' today. Does anybody know the cost of a single from Durham? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - streetdeckfan - 03 Jan 2019 (03 Jan 2019, 5:47 pm)Adrian Lots of buses going to 'January App Sale' today.I noticed that too. And it always happens right as you want to see the destination! RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - Adrian - 03 Jan 2019 (03 Jan 2019, 5:52 pm)streetdeckfan I noticed that too. And it always happens right as you want to see the destination! I wonder how long before drivers get sick of people asking where their bus is going, or sticking their hand out at the last minute, because they want the bus for 'Fencehouses' - not 'January App Sale' Not a fan of this at all. Destination equipment should be used for exactly that purpose - informing customers of where the bus is going. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - S813 FVK - 03 Jan 2019 I'm not a fan of it myself and glad it's only going to be around for this month. At least they have executed it better than Transdev though, who not only didn't display the route number while the promotion display was on, but had the price in the same font proportions as the route number. Certainly not 'amazing'. https://twitter.com/mikemcniven/status/1075788270691332096 On the topic of destinations, is there anything planned to get the 'X30 Newcastle' display changed over to the terminal point only style? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - RBZ 5459 - 03 Jan 2019 (03 Jan 2019, 5:54 pm)Adrian I wonder how long before drivers get sick of people asking where their bus is going, or sticking their hand out at the last minute, because they want the bus for 'Fencehouses' - not 'January App Sale' It isn't best practice to do what they've done... DDA regulations state that "commercial advertising should not detract from them (the destination on display)" RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - pbjd - 03 Jan 2019 (03 Jan 2019, 5:54 pm)Adrian I wonder how long before drivers get sick of people asking where their bus is going, or sticking their hand out at the last minute, because they want the bus for 'Fencehouses' - not 'January App Sale' I hope it isn't introduced to the Angel21s, and if it is, it's only towards to Newcastle, as passengers will want to know which of the 4 Angels coming towards them together are going to Chester-le-Street or Durham, not how much a ticket they most likely won't buy is.

Pleased just about all of us are in agreement over this, lord knows the Transdev fanboys would argue night and day that it is a #Amazing idea, sorry I mean innovation. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - Michael - 03 Jan 2019 4992 has been withdrawn from Deptford according to Go North East fleet news. Anyone know why its been withdrawn?

Looks horrific that display RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - LeeCalder - 03 Jan 2019 (03 Jan 2019, 5:54 pm)Adrian I wonder how long before drivers get sick of people asking where their bus is going, or sticking their hand out at the last minute, because they want the bus for 'Fencehouses' - not 'January App Sale' The displays are awful, I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement.

I've not been fortunate enough to see (or notice) these 'destinations', but looking at comments - I'm guessing GNE have replaced the destination with this advertising. Is that correct?

Is that correct?It stays on the promo display with route number for a few secs then back to destination for a few secs. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019 - Andreos1 - 03 Jan 2019 (03 Jan 2019, 8:32 pm)Jamie M It stays on the promo display with route number for a few secs then back to destination for a few secs. Interesting. I've quoted this post from citaro5284 that's in the psvar thread.
