Pretty impressive. I still rate these LED displays over the full screens. I think the message is a lot more clear to the passenger, no matter where they're sat on the vehicle, and the volume seems to be spot on too - I'm normally first to whinge if it's not!
Question though - where the 'next stop' is close/approaching, and the display changes to the two line mode, does the date/time on the second line change if the bell has been pressed? i.e. to display 'Bus Stopping' or something similar? I was wondering on my way over Washington tonight, and forgot to take note when it came to me pressing the bell...
Not yet - As you know this is the first time we have had the LED displays so its a bit of trial and error to see what we want. We can have it so when the bell is pressed is says Bus Stopping or Bus Stopping at ........ It just needs a bit of programming but we are concentrating on Quaylink and Peterlee NSA's for the new vehicles at the moment.
Actually we are trying something new for us on Quaylink - let the Next Stop system automatically change the destinations
