(19 Jun 2017, 11:38 pm)Ambassador Ongoing withdrawals certainly make the X25, 28 and 21 spares somewhat interesting...Give it a week before 619 makes a few (more?) Appearances on 21.
(19 Jun 2017, 11:35 pm)BusLoverMum Not seen it, this year.I honestly thought the 128 came back this year, just pleased I didn't tell two people heading to Beamish Museum from Durham Bus Station a few Saturdays back about the 128, otherwise they will have been annoyed when they found out that this bus service doesn't exist (at least anymore).

(20 Jun 2017, 3:27 pm)S813 FVK 5402's next stop announcements are not working either - just a plain black screen with no audio. I did manage to get a short video to go with it so I'll go and send that off to the people necessary since I have no idea why I posted that here!
(20 Jun 2017, 10:39 pm)Malarkey I was thinking the same for the likes of the 9/61 and services with an irrelevant brand like the 11/97.

At the moment, the announcements aren't (or shouldn't be) working on 5399, 5400, 5402, 5404 and 5406. This is because they have received an updated media file which has yet to be route-tested before being publicly launched, and also fitted with a cable which allows remote access to the announcements on the bus (over the passenger Wi-Fi) , removing the need for manual updates on the bus itself.
The testing of the new announcements is in the pipeline early next month all being well, and was planned to coincide with the launch of new vehicles on Black Cats 2/2A and 39 and impending service changes to the indiGo network at Washington, so that the audio announcements are consistent on the shared corridors of these routes.
