Wonder if the Highwayman scanias have had the Destination displays sorted ?
Most now have non working side and rear displays, with some front/rear displays constantly flashing (4938, 4967 and 5218 spring to mind).
Many Riverside displays now also revert to idle when engine is switched off, meaning blank displays until the service is inputted again.
No it wouldn't, as 4940 is gaining the full set of LED displays from 4841 (meaning that it'll have a colour front display). We have enough LED front destinations in withdrawn vehicles to allow all vehicles (excluding Tridents and Olympians) to be fitted with LED destinations, and you'll see the front flipdot destination displays being replaced over the next few weeks.
A temporary fix to get the front LED displays working (at the expense of flipdot side/rear not working) was created two weeks ago when we encountered some difficulties with the destination update. As we're proactive at Go North East (
), the issues were fixed at the earliest opportunity: Saturday night. As for the displays constantly flashing - this relates to wrong switch settings being used on the rear displays previously, which again, was corrected at the weekend. If you spot any further issues, please do drop me a Private Message. Mind, Arriva has yet to fix their "Sapphire" 57-reg ADL Enviro400s which have the same issue - how long ago were services X21/X22 converted to Sapphire..?As for 'idle' - this is required to allow destinations to change automatically on the Quaylink routes. Now we've brought in profiling, the next destination update (at the end of October for Riverside, at the end of this month for Hexham) will see the removal of 'idle' from all vehicles besides those vehicles with 144x19RN, 96x8 and 32x17 (primarily Quaylink, but also TEN and Tyne Tees Xpress) or 144x19, 96x18, 160x24 displays (Citylink)...
