(28 Aug 2014, 7:41 am)mb134 wrote I think 7514-21 all are tachographed, I've seen quite a few on X15/18 in the past so I would assume most if not all have tachographs. As for 7501-13 (minus 7510) they are all tachographed, don't think 7522-7528 have any reason to be as they should only be on X21/22.
I don't think Arriva will be ordering any E400 MMC anytime soon. (What profitable routes can they be put on that aren't already operated by half decent deckers anyway)

Don't think I will go as I don't have a good selection of evening bus services. Also some are already in service fully branded so it seems a bit pointless.

(29 Aug 2014, 12:06 pm)aureolin wrote Because of the additional load it can put on SQL (database). It's also why there's a search throttle in place too.

(29 Aug 2014, 2:22 pm)G-CPTN wrote There are far more three-digit 'words' than four-digit 'words'.

By restricting the number of digits (to four) the 'computer' has fewer operations to make with fewer answers.

If you allowed a search on just one digit you would get a considerable number of answers, most of which would be false.

Two digits eases the situation, and three moreso, and four makes the computational 'load' tolerable.

Edited to add:-

SQL = Structured Query Language (Click) which is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (which is a table of words that constitute this forum).
