(29 Mar 2017, 3:54 pm)GuyParkRoyal My guess is Sunderland Road Bungalows, west bound just before Duke of Cumberland PH.

We've got a winner! 10 #NEBPoints to GPR!

In this exercise, we surely must have convinced our friends who don't like contravision that you are able to see out of the windows when this is applied...

Why are some RN portions red with the new NIS display and others blue?

It was white in that picture - not blue.

Some of the colour route number panels on the destination displays have been replaced with just a white LED panel (like the new buses with white LEDs). We don't really bother with the colour now anyway, so no need to buy replacement colour panels when white will do!

I understand the white reasoning, I just thought it was blue because I didn't zoom in!
Thanks anyway.

Was at Riverside on Tuesday night, and was seen on Hedgeley Road in Hebburn at about 1445 yesterday being driven by a Riverside driver, possibly testing NSA on 27.  Last night it was parked at side of Saltmeadows.

Citylink Citaro's should be going next, on the news for 5293 "Prior to being released for internal refurbishment and repaint at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn, this vehicle has been fitted with free customer Wi-Fi". - this was added in February. It does seem like all the Citaro's will go for a refurbishment, expect for the Connections 4 Citaro's. 


I wonder when the first Citylink will be sent down to Blackburn, maybe when a couple more Citaro's are back?

I do hope the newest buses arriving have the same seating of the refurbishment Citaro's.... Tongue

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

I do say they are really nice and improving numbers will be from that kind of upgrade. I hope my see it do it gets wifi because it's the only mercs what dosent have wifi but I said a week or so a go that I'd like them to have wifi due to it being a lengthy route too would make it more of an improvement for the passengers , on my early morning one always get quite a busy load at 8 in the morning .

Thats because they dont work. 6138 has about 10 seconds off for 5 seconds on. 6129 also resets and the rear display is barely viewable. 5239's rear display also barely spends anytime on. 6038's rear display is also fixed on "0". 3887's rear display does not work. 643 and 645's side displays flash with weird characters on. And many more...

I think we can draw a conclusion that displays, typically displays which are not front displays don't seem to be required to be working. If there is a horribly defective front display, they get pulled off the road - but this is rare.
