(03 Jan 2019, 5:59 pm)S813 FVK I'm not a fan of it myself and glad it's only going to be around for this month.6168 has all the old programs on too.
At least they have executed it better than Transdev though, who not only didn't display the route number while the promotion display was on, but had the price in the same font proportions as the route number. Certainly not 'amazing'.

On the topic of destinations, is there anything planned to get the 'X30 Newcastle' display changed over to the terminal point only style?
(03 Jan 2019, 5:54 pm)Adrian I wonder how long before drivers get sick of people asking where their bus is going, or sticking their hand out at the last minute, because they want the bus for 'Fencehouses' - not 'January App Sale'Interestingly, not one passenger commented on the displays to me throughout the day.
Not a fan of this at all. Destination equipment should be used for exactly that purpose - informing customers of where the bus is going.

(05 Jan 2019, 9:33 pm)Michael Seems a odd swap, why?
(05 Jan 2019, 9:34 pm)Malarkey Gathering to provide extra capacity on the X6/X7 due to the Arriva strike, should've used deckers if any were available.
(05 Jan 2019, 9:35 pm)Dan No double-deck vehicles were available, so high capacity single-decks had to suffice.
