I'm really behind on all of this DDA stuff. Does anybody have a list of all the requirements?
I can probably work out two using logic:
- Buses need to be low floor
- Route numbers need to be on the Right (left if inside the bus)

It's not a bell - it is a similar noise to it though.
Not sure what it is, but they've all done it since new.

No - the former "Drifter" batch aren't fitted with Next Stop Announcements.

When a warning light comes on dashboard, it makes the same noise a when the bell is pressed.

I don't know if this applies to other buses, but on MPDs there's a light that comes up "Bus Stop" on the dashboard when the bell is pressed.

Is it not just the indicator?
Currently on the 82 from Usworth and only 7 of us on (2 drivers), only going to Concord so won't be sure on passenger numbers after that.
Edit:All got off and 1 got on leaving concord...

just thought i'd share, =)
I had her on a 21 a few of weeks ago. She's a really nice woman and a good driver.
Although I'm not sure she's been at CLS that long, prior to the big rota changes a while back I can't recall ever seeing her driving a bus in CLS. Perhaps she was working for another depot at the time of their meeting in Durham?
Any CLS drivers know any more?
Why is it deptford drivers don't know where to stop on john street in Sunderland, the 35/36 stop At the first bus stop as both of these services go to Chester road first and service 20/20A stops the next one down.

At Holmeside:
Services 20/20A observe the bus stop closest to Park Lane (ie the Stagecoach 3/4/13 stop) as it's a Durham Road service.
Services 35/36 observe the next stop down from my observations - not sure if they're meant to stop here though.
Services 2/2A observe the next stop down from that (ie the Stagecoach 16 stop) as it's direct to Chester Rd opposed to a Park Lane service.
If the 35/36 are rightly using the second stop down from The Point, then I've seen no driver incorrectly using a stand. Even when there has been congestion and drivers have had to wait to pull in, they've always used those stands.
On John St:
Tends to be a free for all as there are so many buses trying to get into the stops outside of Joplings at once. When there has been no other buses pulled in, I've had no issues with drivers actually serving the middle bus stop outside of Joplings. I can't recall an instance whereby a 35/36 has not used the stop closest to the cinema too, when there have been no other buses around. Have you observed otherwise?

She used to do the night bus when it ran every night, and is still on a lates rota now. Been at that depot since she started.
Generally won't see her before 3pm!
