Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2015

I see tyresmoke got his wish with the use of the word "then" opposed to "for"..!

The font used is very small though, and the actual destination is not emphasised any more than the "for", I passed 7513 the other day on an X15, with the destination "Alnwick for Berwick", as the Alnwick is above, that's the first thing people will look at, and I know I would be quite confused as to why it didn't simply say "Berwick" (if I was a regular passenger)

They only get five minutes layover at Berwick, and seven at Newcastle which isn't really enough.

One I saw on the map today was 26 minutes late, most others were over 5. Bearing in mind this was around 4PM

Seems like an awful fuss though, is there a better way to implement it than three/four different splits?
