The cant rail is planned to be stripped and replaced with a similar style depicted by the OmniDekka on the timetable for the revised 6 service prior to 21st May.

I then looked and realised that this totalled 9 vehicles there are currently 9 'indiGo' branded vehicles without Next Stop Announcements (625/7/31/2 at Percy Main and 701-705 at Washington). Could it be possible that the systems will be refitted into these vehicles?

650 - 652 had their Next Stop Announcements removed today too, so I think we'll have to knock that idea on the head!

I can imagine the day that a Hybrid crawls through Sunderland Interchange.

(02 May 2017, 4:12 pm)Dan wrote The cant rail has been revised to show a similar style as the cant rail on the Durham Diamond Streetlites - it reads:
"Buses run early til late • Into the heart of the city up to every 20 minutes".

The idea is that the cant rails on most branded buses will have a similar style, where possible, for consistency. I believe the Saltwell Park Streetlites will have their cant rails stripped with a new white vinyl added on in the coming weeks.

I can confirm that all of the relevant feature symbols are present and correct!

(05 May 2017, 5:03 pm)Ds1197 wrote Probably the red Streetlites

(05 May 2017, 5:09 pm)Michael wrote Think they're allocated to the 135/136.

Wait, Im confused. Doesn't the 58 do Heworth to Newcastle City Centre, and the 57 Wardley to Hadrian Park? 

(05 May 2017, 8:12 pm)S813 FVK wrote Yes, you will have - 5234-5242/50/3 all gained the revised taglines either today or yesterday.
