icomera seem to have bottomed out the wifi issues and we are moving it from a project to BAU.  Currently it is getting used around 3000 times a day and using roughly 28GB of data on 122 vehicles.

I note on the landing page, it states that large file downloads aren't allowed, and then goes on to state about software downloads not being allowed. Are the iTunes and Play stores for example blocked? Reason I ask, is that I seem to recall my phone attempting to auto update apps a short while ago, which would indicate it can talk to the play store over the Internet.

I am unsure as to what sites are blocked as I am more with making sure the system is working and fault recording.  Blocking of sites is agreed between the Commerical Department and icomera.  I personally think an app update from either itunes or Play Store will go through as they are not that big, just uses some of the users 150mb limit.

As far as I am aware, no, I re-downloaded Football Manager from play store on my phone about 10 days ago, though I did not try downloading the extra files needed at install

Yet to see any photos of the repainted Merc(s) online by others, so I'll share my photo of 5276 taken today:

Taken during sunset, so the quality wasn't up to much.

It wouldnt make a difference - if it was a new dest, it would be set to a blue box for the silver arrow routes. It is just a blind fault rather than a new blind.

No idea what was on the bonnet of 6044, but it isn't there anymore and has left a lush sticky residue on the paintwork.

Late night news update (woooo)...

Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6042 (V306 LGC) is now fully repaired after receiving maintenance at Riverside and has consequently transferred back to Deptford for use on the npower shuttle services.

Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 3963 (NK06 JXD) has therefore been returned to Riverside.

Random question but with the weather warning in place for tomorrow do GNE divert the 10 (and any other) deckers off the Redheugh and through Scotswood (or alternative) when the high sided closure is in place?

Looks to hit us the worst around rush hour. Its bad enough getting blown to bits on the dual carriageway at Allerdene on the Angel
