(04 Aug 2018, 5:57 pm)BFK Why ? I've drove numerous buses on the Hope Road (Including Double deckers) and never had any problem at all. It is the only road they can use due to the road closures in place. What do you want them do ?The magic GNE tractor beam to come to the rescue.

Are the Quaylinks having their destinations updated?

(05 Aug 2018, 7:21 am)Dan All Riverside buses with the newer controllers (including the Quaylinks) had their firmware updated last Sunday, with subsequent content update.
So yes, more or less all of these will be showing destinations with the large terminal point now. The buses with the older controllers will be updated by the end of this month to allow everything to have the new scholars/work service destinations programmed in... This is when the whole fleet will be large terminal point only.
Buses fitted with the newer Next Stop Announcement system will also start to make better use of the feature to automatically change the destination display based on GPS location. This is already being done successfully on the daytime 81-84 services (changing destination to the next route at The Galleries), as well as on the 42A and X9/X10 services where the service is split in the middle of the route. Services such as the 21 and X9/X10 with the newer system will start to show "Eldon Square" as the terminal point as they approach Gateshead Interchange, while services such as the 27 will show "Market Street", making it clearer to people waiting to board a bus in Gateshead where the Newcastle-bound service terminates.
