Arriva North East tend to go for that option I have found, which I personally don't think is the best option for passengers who are visually impaired.
It is of course just a temporary solution... With over 50 buses transferring between depots this weekend, as well as timetables making a return and lots of other things going on, I'm sure you'll appreciate something has to give.
But this isn't the first time this has happened though, the Tyne Valley Ten also had the equipment disabled for a very long time.
As for the buses transferring between depots, timetables and various other things, there's multiple people involved, including external agencies, I don't see how this can affect a sole person?
I'm involved in updating a lot of AV equipment across the country and I haven't had to have the equipment turned off during a transition...
