If you tick these for the appropriate coloured box you've used a non-standard font for, the font changes will remain. This is how we use Arial route numbers now.

But yes, very complicated and very time-consuming. I envy those at Arriva and Stagecoach who don't have all of the different destination display variations, that's for sure! You can appreciate that this is why Go North East seem to have more issues with route numbers appearing on the wrong side of the display, compared to other operators...

You can go into robotic mode when you're doing lots of changes to a programme for service revisions, but you just have to make sure you've got your spellings right before you start copying and pasting! I tend to type all of my destinations up on Microsoft Excel first as it's easier to see all of the destinations in a spreadsheet, then copy and paste after that.

(13 Jul 2015, 4:22 am)Dan wrote Spends most of its days on the 97 lately as there's a Highwayman on long-term VOR. Often allocated from early doors on a weekday.

It will display the normal next stop until it recognises the coordinates of where the bus is again, where it will then announce the correct stop.

The programme can be amended accordingly to make customers aware of the diversion, but then this programme would have to be loaded to each vehicle again. If the diversion was going to be ongoing for a number of weeks, I would suggest the latter would be done, but if it was only a diversion in place for a day or two, it would not be practical to update the programme on the bus twice (once for diversion, once for normal route).

* Note that, in reality, the vehicle is working on behalf of Deptford Depot. As established already, the two dual-doors have transferred across for a PVR increase of the Prince Bishops and East Durham services, hence why it is shown as having transferred to Peterlee.

When the youngest MPD's from Peterlee transfer to Deptford... they're going to look a mess when they take the East Durham brand off 573/574. 565 and 619 will look alright because they are in the old Venture tag lines.... no point in repainting them either.
