Indeed. We've not done the dynamic 'line plan' for this one, as we have done with the Red Arrows and Connections4, but we've used the route map on the back of the bus to provide a static 'line plan' instead, which remains on the top of the screen at all times.

Mimics the usual style with the yellow header and footer and brand logo in the top left, but had a bit more fun with the design. Pretty basic but I think it works - although I'm a bit bias!

I noticed on one of your pictures Dan, that Sunderland Connect" branded 640 (NK62 DWY) is at SM.... is it there for repairs or a repaint?

Looking at the front of the vehicle, id say it looks like it was there for repairs.

The others are light green.

New seating too! Wonder if these will be on the new buses from now on? Also, are they on the new IndiGo solos too?

Esteban V3s cant be fitted with seatbelts so different seating is found in the Hexham Solos

Estebans are fitted to the Percy Main Indigos.

Civic V3s CAN be fitted with seatbelts as demonstrated on their website: http://www.isri.es/civicv3.php

Well not on all examples as I was there in January, they don't have them on Solars. Translink definitely don't have them

Didnt notice them on anything but the Gemini's.
The only other decker I used was an Alx400 and that didn't have them fitted.
Renowns etc didnt have them either.
