(21 Apr 2017, 10:08 am)S813 FVK 6133 and 643 are the only 2 there that I have actually spotted - in the cases where I have seen them, all the rest have been fine. Flip-dots do tend to freeze, the rear displays in 3823 and 3880 both froze and were removed.Ive only ever seen passengers wear them for a joke during the day time.
I wouldn't say any feature on a bus is mandatory, Next Stop Announcements are probably the only feature which I would say has any chance of being made mandatory in the future. Therefore, I see no reason why they can't advertise the seatbelts (especially as it is a bonus safety feature) which, arguably, are mandatory in this instance given that the Solos are spares for the scholars service that 618 usually operates which needs to have seatbelts.
