Forgive me for thinking this was a bus forum rather than a fault reporting service?

No harm in doing the same thing on Arrivas Disscussion page.

Nobody has been banned for reporting faults on this forum regarding destination displays, if that is what you are suggesting.

The power sockets must be powering the turbocharger - it drained my battery from my battery charger and iPad!

(02 Apr 2016, 1:21 pm)mb134 wrote Haha, I know 7522-33 can shift, I was just pretty surprised when I realised just how old 7474 was, especially taking into account it spent majority of it's life in London!

One thing, have they delimited that batch of E400's, sure I saw a sticker on 7524(?) saying it was limited to 100km/h? (Less than 65mph) Although I'm sure I've been on them when they've been doing similar speeds to what you've reported there, as they've been keeping up with/overtaking cars.

And if 1771 is still in use?
Thanks

(02 Apr 2016, 5:21 pm)tyresmoke wrote Got 65 out of 7534 the other day.
Most of the DLAs will struggle up to around 50, and these VLAs from London are sadly limited at 48mph

(02 Apr 2016, 6:21 pm)mb134 wrote Just to follow on from this, the legal lettering on 7485 hasn't been altered, as seen here, and there's no visible 'on loan' sign. What are the potential consequences of not changing the legal lettering, and not declaring it as on loan?

(02 Apr 2016, 6:26 pm)GX03 SVC wrote It was mentioned way back that if the address (Doxford Int Business Park) is the same then its fine?

Yorkshire is Wakefield iirc

(02 Apr 2016, 6:38 pm)mb134 wrote But then, why the need for the paper in 1808?

(02 Apr 2016, 7:09 pm)tyresmoke wrote This is Selby we're talking about. I hope someone at Wakefield realises.

(02 Apr 2016, 7:25 pm)GX03 SVC wrote The legal address for Northumbria and Durham County is Doxford Park (hence why the Northumbria legals are still there). The legal address for Yorkshire is Wakefield (hence why there is a on hire sign in the window of 1808).

EDIT: Just realised that 7485 is at Selby and doesn't carry Yorkshire legals or on hire signs lol
