(22 Feb 2017, 6:54 pm)S813 FVK Percy Main is likely but Riverside and Percy Main vehicles share destination programmes.
I wouldn't read too much into it.
These buses previously had Bright tech destination displays. The Hanover destination displays in these buses now, as well as the destination controller itself, came from withdrawn buses.
The destination being displayed is whatever the controller was last set to before being removed from the bus. I would suggest that the controller on this bus came from one of the dual-door Volvo B10BLEs at Percy Main, given how the data is being shown on the display. It has since been re-programmed, though whether it's the correct programme or not is a different matter. It's just whichever one I had in the car!
708 is now at Deptford pending transfer to Peterlee, where it will be allocated to service 168 as a replacement for the MPD presently serving this purpose. It was collected by Deptford this afternoon.
Also of note is the return of 5284 from refurbishment. In Go North East's corporate livery, and now allocated to Deptford.
