Of course if you driver went to neutral it would be more comfortable.
Is there any reason why bus drivers don't come out of drive into neutral?

(09 Nov 2017, 4:39 pm)deanmachine You shouldn't select neutral in an automatic vehicle unless you're stationary for extended period of time, especially on a live road, you can't select a gear quickly like you can in a manual vehicle. Neutral or drive doesn't make a difference in rattle for Streetlites.

(10 Nov 2017, 7:36 pm)S813 FVK Not yet. I was on both of them today - 3889 much better than 3886. 6032 seems to have vanished though - it may just be VOR but it has technically being replaced by 6135 (may be retained temporarily due to 5248's fire though?).

(10 Nov 2017, 12:06 am)idiot Sorry as someone who has drove both manual and automatic it's easier in automatic. Hand brake on and move gear stuck. Or in case of buses press a button.

(12 Nov 2017, 10:33 am)Acky81 Looks like all the destinations are changing. So far I’ve seen 2 12 27 and 39s done. I like how you can see it from distance but on the flip side it’s not great missing out the via points

(12 Nov 2017, 12:00 pm)ne14ne1 I've noticed a few and it is much clearer and easier to read, but having the destination simply as 'Newcastle' or 'Gateshead' isn't that helpful, especially further along the routes for people then boarding at stops within Newcastle or Gateshead.
Okay for Gateshead or South Shields I suppose, GNE are presuming passengers will presume the final stop is the town centre, but in my opinion 'Newcastle' isn't quite informative enough.
Its okay if you already know the local bus numbers/routes, but imagine you are visiting Edinburgh or London - an approaching bus with the destination simply as 'Edinburgh', or 'London' wouldn't be of any use. (Granted it may be the case for non stop buses/coaches coming from outside of the areas?).
Anyway, my point is maybe a New York flip style destination would be more helpful, so for example on the Crusader the destination screen would either display 'Newcastle' for 2 seconds, then 'Market St W' for 2 seconds in a cycle, OR display 'Newcastle Market St' for 2 seconds, then 'via Gateshead Interchange' or 'Gateshead Town' for 2 seconds.
Thats just my tuppence worth for today.

All this talk about terminal points only. First York have used terminal points for years, as have Transdev. If you look on Coastliner for example they only show York, Leeds or Whitby as an example. If you have a look at Lothian, they have now moved to terminal points only since they have moved to Hanover Displays from Mobitec and as we all know, there is not many tourists in Edinburgh!
Lets roll back some years to 'roller blinds', and they use to show terminal points only, so it is nothing new.

The bus stops themselves often show the main 'via' points with the Nexus ones even showing the approx. journey times. This could potentially relax the need for the via points on the displays themselves but is heavily reliant on the local authorities ensuring that every bus stop has an information board with the bus times on.
