I might be living under a rock but bar 1 service a day none of them stop in Newcastle anyway so don't really see the point in changing it personally, assuming this was because it was boxing day where they were running short.

Go North East have now implemented 'Full Bus' displays, I first saw this today, earlier on the 20 coming in Park Lane from Durham. 


It had 20 South Shields etc then flashed to 20 Bus Full. 

Tbh This should have been brought in a few months ago.

It used to be for social distancing, I have seen some immensely busy buses and it was the first time i have seen it used. 

It wasn't even used for the 3 packed X1's I saw.

It was never removed, it's just driver's who have forgotten it's there or can't be bothered to use it.

What's the score with them being used? I thought it removed the service number and destination from the display to replace it with a bus full message, so if for example the DVSA were out doing spot checks, how would they know that the service has operated?

Still displays the route number all the time, and flips back and forth between the destination and "Bus Full".

When the bus is full do you use them?

The hydrogen demo Stagecoach is trilling is fitted with a HD LED screen making the text look like it’s printed on a blind rather than dots of light:

Passengers won't be able to see the M though.
What with it being on that side of the blind and the whole argument about not being able to see the number when it's positioned there and the operator ignoring best practice guidance...

At least it's an attempt to promote some sort of integration with other modes of transport across the region.

Perhaps GNE could include the Amazon Logo on the destination once it arrives at The Galleries and when it departs Heworth.

Only happens at Heworth for the Amazon 4 runs. It would confuse passengers to much

It is. It's a huge start. Just a shame nobody would be able to see it.

(obviously they can see it and can probably see it clearly, but yer kna - there's this obsession that people can't. Or actually, maybe they can see the M when it is positioned there, but not a number when it's there. )

It's an improvement, but I think the real problem is that some don't read the destinations at all. Not sure how you can confuse Houghton-le-Spring and Heworth, Metro logo or not.

Perhaps it's one of these cases where it's actually the infrastructure that needs to be improved? Such as having two bus stops, preferably one at each side of the road, with the Houghton-bound journeys taking an anti-clockwise route.

your also relying on the driver changing the destination screen. Many a time i was on the arriva 44 to Dinnington but it still had 44 to newcastle on by the time it reached regent centre M

was coming out of gateshead one day last week and a 54 " voltra" was pulling in the display stated on the bottom " leaving in 5 minutes". Found this strange but a good idea at the same time !

IIRC, it's a pretty standard feature on Mobitec displays, which is what the Voltras use. I think it was mentioned GNE are working with Hanover to get it on the rest of the fleet
