Is 6125 the only one out?

(03 Jun 2015, 2:52 pm)Michael wrote That's good, was gonna ask if the announcements would change if it was on another route but you've answered that for me!.... that would be good, if they could...

So example - C&C on the 28 - the announcements would be for the 28 instead of one of the C&C routes.

Anyway you could do that or will it be a massive pain

(03 Jun 2015, 2:59 pm)Dan wrote As more and more vehicles gain Next Stop Announcements, this probably could be justified. Until then, it doesn't make a great deal of sense to have Next Stop Announcements when the wrong bus is allocated, hence the generic promotional messages.

169 vehicles out of approximately 670 (when the fleet is cleared of any buses due for withdrawal and those currently in storage whilst awaiting disposal) isn't too bad at all, especially given that Next Stop Announcements were only first rolled out five years ago. Of course, I think we can guarantee this increasing by a further 14 vehicles, when these arrive...  

(03 Jun 2015, 3:03 pm)Michael wrote Makes sense tbh, 173 isn't bad at all, thought it was less than that if i'm going to be honest.

When will the first of the last remaining 14 buses start to arrive?

Speaking of Toon Link, are any of the other ones out?

(03 Jun 2015, 5:09 pm)Dan wrote 5241 has had intermittent issues for over a year now. Trouble is, when it comes to getting it fixed, there's nothing ever wrong with it!

It was certainly fine when I programmed the destination, and was when it first entered service.
