(02 Mar 2016, 10:17 pm)Ambassador What's the official GNE policy on the ticket machine ribbon out of ink (or not printing)

Is it driver fixable or emergency tickets?

Happened on my bus this evening and driver was just started  taking the money and issuing no ticket

Its heat printed, no ink ribbons.....they are old hat, so normally no not driver fixable.

(02 Mar 2016, 10:08 pm)citaro5284 It is because the destination controller on the vehicle is on the wrong setting.  The bus thinks the blind is 19 LED's high when it is only 17 LED's high, so it cuts off the bottom 2 lines on the top row.

Thought it was something like that. Seen a few percy main ones like that but dan says he has informed the depot

(02 Mar 2016, 8:21 pm)Dan No ticket machine required.

Been a while since I last travelled on 327 but when I did I still had to purchase a ticket. Do they no longer take fares on 327 now?

In Newcastle to get some photos of The Castles Express and the incompetent fools from Metro Radio have parked right in front of the bus and stuck their speakers right in front as well
Are these 'incompetent foolsc not just doing their job. Publicity. It's not a photoshoot solely for enthusiasts. It's nice to get a picture if you can but that's not the main reason for the event.

Have noticed that every time they have one in Newcastle they usually use the same setup, suppose they have no choice as people need to have room to get past.

No, it'll be for the Prince Bishops being in for repaint.
6020 has had a crash with the kerb in Eldon Square, the doors have fell off, the floor gave way and the widscreen shattered.
