(15 Mar 2016, 5:00 pm)citaro5284 No it was not Westy.....they were out NSA testing.

Indeed. We've not done the dynamic 'line plan' for this one, as we have done with the Red Arrows and Connections4, but we've used the route map on the back of the bus to provide a static 'line plan' instead, which remains on the top of the screen at all times.

Mimics the usual style with the yellow header and footer and brand logo in the top left, but had a bit more fun with the design. Pretty basic but I think it works - although I'm a bit bias! Wink
