Picking up on a few comments, why does a buggy bay have any impact on next stop announcements? Now I'm in the minority by which I mean I don't mind next stop announcements and I think I'd be very happy to have them them if I was getting on a bus for the first time. I'd have thought the Streetlites may have came with two screens like the 2011 Versas one for information & one for next stop, I wonder if advertising space may have been a impact for Saltwell Park not getting next stop? They have the opportunity for a more localised advertising on Saltwell Park as opposed to Drifter which goes across county border perhaps? I don't know it wouldn't surprise me if this was a reason. Wifi not included on Saltwell Park/Venture was something I didn't really get either- most new buses have had them so why not these? Venture to get next stop is also strange considering they are a very local routes, bar a few expections like the 689/V8/V9 maybe I can't imagine them getting many non-local travellers?
On another note, I don't suppose there's any plans to include next stop on the 61? As I believe it will be the first routes to have received 'Second hand' a next stop announcement vehicle? As the Versas had next stop when on the SimpliCity 36. There's two screen on those 2011 Versas as mentioned above, so one just feature a 'SimpliCity' logo and is surplus to requirements. 8319 also had said screen, it'll look odd when branded for the 39 (whenever that happens) with one bus having an extra screen.
