675 also has a problem. You cant see it as its really dull.

673 - this one has previously been repaired for having a dull destination. It was repaired a few months ago, but no harm in checking this one again for other faults.
675 - how long has it been like that? I saw it not so long ago and it was fine.

No harm in it, really. Promoting pride, diversity, etc, all week long.

Perhaps 8335 was easier to get out of the depot this morning than one of the specifically Q1/Q2 branded examples, especially with it being Sunday with less of the buses being out on the road in service today. Not really a problem given 8335 is not specific Quaylink route branded and it's normally on the Q1/Q2 anyway.

According to the Nexus folks, to account for Benton Park Rd peak workings when the closure extends to Shiremoor there'll still be short Regent Centre to 4LE runs to keep the flow going.

(09 Aug 2017, 8:38 am)S813 FVK wrote As destinations have been mentioned, is the new style destination layout seen on the X66 and X84/X85 just a trial run that would revert back to normal in the next destination update or is it a more permanent thing with the intention of all destinations being redesigned like that over time?
While I don't think this was a massive problem beforehand, I do like the greater emphasis on the main destination. Was strange seeing the X66 with that fancy 'X' though!
(09 Aug 2017, 10:52 am)I Dan wrote Not true. I suspect that the rumour relates to 4957 - this is not being withdrawn, the chassis is being repaired at Saltmeadows Road.
4956 and 4958 are also VOR today - the former for PSV test, and the latter for defects.
It's just a trial run.
A number of comments have been raised internally about the large number of via points and how nobody would be able to read them all as they scroll (so is there really any point having them), and whether it would be better to have a greater emphasis on the terminal point by having it in a larger font, and the via points smaller, on separate screens, not scrolling.
Chances are it'll be rolled out to a couple of other services to gather more opinions. It's more or less what Arriva have, really, just with a larger terminal point (which they, and other operators as a matter of fact, use in other parts of the country).
I gather a number of enthusiasts on Facebook groups weren't best pleased with the new style - but I suppose we're trying to best cater for the majority of passengers!
