Speaking of ways to charge your phone, I was on a X1 today and the wireless charging in the back of the seats most the things that hold the phone up were smashed off.

I regularly use the X1 and I dont think I've seen a broken holder yet.

Reminds me when Blackpool Transport started getting their new fleet of E400City double decks, that had tables with chargers in the middle. People started pouring fizzy drinks into them ruining them. So Blackpool Transport just plated them over.

So I wonder are the 2015/2016 Streetlites the ones that the drivers control and whether the chargers are turned on.

(15 Mar 2023, 5:35 pm)deanmachine wrote Driver's don't control them. They never have, it was a myth, if the interior lights are on, the plugs are on.

(15 Mar 2023, 5:58 pm)morritt89 wrote I vaguely remember from my time at Arriva that there was a switch to reset the 24V sockets. I don't remember GNE examples having this (although there is a interior battery reset button for the internal electrics and I'm now wondering if that resets the sockets).

(15 Mar 2023, 7:01 pm)Dan wrote It's said battery reset button which also resets the sockets. Needs to be done every time the engine is switched off.

I suspect some drivers go for the 'switch every button on' approach to turn on the interior lights in a Streetlite, which will turn the sockets on too.

(15 Mar 2023, 8:29 pm)nova347 wrote So if the USBs/Plug sockets dont work is it because the driver hasn't pressed the battery reset button or someone has blown the sockets on the bus.
