Nope. Just looks like it's written with an ink pen. In English. Not in "Chinese".

The whole 'Chinese' lettering thing started when the Citaro brand was unveiled and while it obviously isnt written in Chinese, the lettering style does by many people. It isn't only Michael and Bazza who have that opinion.

They used to be louder on the old QuayLink - I think people have to adjust on the old Orbit routes, as they did not used to have any announcements at all.

On some vehicles (8335 is one of them), it is so quiet that you can barely hear it when a decent number of passengers are on board - yet the volume is set the same on other vehicles which it is quite loud on.

People will just have to get used to them on the ex Orbit route..... its not end of the world. 

Dan has any of the ex Peterlee darts entered service at Deptford yet?

I failed to mention this - but when I caught 5390 on the Q1 last Monday, either the announcements weren't working or the volume was so low it couldn't be heard

If the screen was working but the audio announcements were not, it's likely that they have been turned down or there is a problem with the speakers (which I believe is the case on 8329). If neither were working (which perhaps you could assist with - if you can remember), that's an issue we'll have to investigate.
