'Bus Full' destination displays
'Bus Full' destination displays
Noticed last week GNE bus full dests flash between the route number and destination and route number bus full due to social distancing or Just route number and destination to route number and bus full in large writing on voltra, got to admit that's not a good idea as that just attracts people to put their hand out for an already full bus. GNE bus full dests should be like the Scottish citylink coach full dests which just say coach full in big writing with no route number GNE (and indeed Arriva and Stagecoach) should adapt that style as noone will even put their hand out for it as they'll think it's not in service or something. I'll attach a picture of a full 900 using the coach full dest.

You'll have people waiting thinking it could be a bit late, then being annoyed when they find out the bus that flew past them 10 minutes ago was actually theirs and they'll be waiting for another 20 minutes...

Pretty sure MG said in his Facebook Live that if the bus were to be full, the driver should still stop to advise passengers, make a record, ask for a duplicate etc. unless on a busy corridor.

(03 May 2021, 5:31 pm)Andreos1 I've seen a few ANE services showing 'bus full' and on sections of route where there's 2 or 3 services, it's not too easy to determine which service it actually is.
As an example, Windsor Road in Saltburn has the X3/A and X4 along it.
The double back loop the X3/A makes along Windsor Road, results in even more confusion if they're displaying 'bus full'.
