The majority of the o/s vinyls are missing. Couldn't see what colour/shade the panels were due to the poor light outside.

(04 Jan 2016, 5:29 pm)Dan wrote Not a huge issue either, as it's just programmed as a route number only display instead of the size used on the back of an OmniCity. Would meet DDA/PSVAR requirements regardless, as the rear only needs to be a route number only display.
