It was added to all other depots' destination databases at the same time, but will only be on the bus if it's been updated since November.
Think it was roughly the same time that the 'xxx Depot' and brand name logo displays were added (though a couple were done at Riverside by September):

Yep ive seen buses in gateshead etc with the branding and th depots on the destinations but none down percy main so the drivers must not use them?
