Believe Martijn was referring to the internal vinyls that have been applied. Pictures are on Dan's Flickr. Only changes to X21 will be rebrand to Xlines

He might well have been, it was a while ago and I can't be bothered to spend ages digging through his Twitter to find out the exact context ?

I'm aware that they aren't going to do anything to the X21, I was just putting some ideas out there.

I do hope they don't do full height cove vinyls on the Streetlites though, Arriva's look ridiculous

Getting back on topic however, I firmly believe the NSA's aren't being used to their full potential.

I was chuffed to get on a corporate Merc on the X20 a few weeks back and it play the required NSA's for that service.

However, I would love to see improvements made when long term or regular closures are in place and for the NSA's to start achieving their potential.

When the 49 I was on got diverted (and by that I mean the driver forgot he was driving the 49 and went along Askew Road West, but the principle is the same), the NSAs just stopped announcing until we got back onto Derwentwater Road and caught straight back up, which I thought was quite good.

You would think it would be relatively simple to easily modify the route on the NSA, but they always seem to make the technology more complicated than it needs to be (the cynic in me thinks they do that so they can charge more for 'support')
