Another job for the driver mind!

Easily an extra 50p an hour for the driver to rotate the thing. Also needs a risk assessment carried out as the driver could easily injure their hand or wrist.

These rotacubes signage were also displayed on the bottom blind of a double destination blind on OK buses .(PTE secured service)
They could be programmed on any destination display now ( modern technology )

Didn't GNE have information on ticket validity scrolling along the bottom of the screen on nexus services once upon a time?
I mean it could easily be solved by mandating the bus be in battleship grey and red again Wink

Don't remember them tbh - certainly not on the 44b that i used to get to school. Good idea though can they fit any more information on those screen with bus number on the left ( or right) 69 different destinations rolling across the screen the RIP you majasty and Were hiring also..... might miss the bit about who's paying for the service to run!!!!!

I found examples from both Arriva & Kingsleys. I'm sure classic, maybe even veolia did it at some point.

It costs Nexus a lot less to run 'taxi buses' than it does local bus services, so it probably relates to the average cost per passenger to Nexus.

The 135/136 running hourly on evenings/Sundays was actually probably quite costly for what it was, and therefore on a 'per passenger' basis, would be quite expensive for Nexus to subsidise.

Go North East clearly has a large surplus of buses and drivers, hence why they are able to loan and/or transfer them to other companies.

If Go North East has a surplus of buses and drivers, I’m sure they would be delighted to find some additional work…

You can see these are isolated to Riverside only - no other depots have lost mileage for driver availability for some time now.

Every other depot is fully staffed or over-staffed.

Easily run off the 39A.

Also might give them a big layover as it does struggle with reliability.
