Yes - a little 'note to self' to determine what version of the TFT media is on that bus.

Thanks Josh.

This is actually a mistake within the NAPTAN database (which is a global bus stop database for the UK).

I've corrected it within our stop list now, but it'll still be wrong on the likes of Google Maps and Nexus' Journey Planner.

http://livemap.nexus.org.uk/#/liveDepartures?stopId=410000031008&stopType=BUS_STOP&name=Houghton-Le-Spring,%20Hetton%20Road-Sandcroft%20Drive,%20Se-Bound,%2031008&latitude=54.8367028528&longitude=-1.4674738878&smsCode=twrgjgaw&alternativeStopRef=31008

The spelling will remain wrong on the Red Arrows buses for a little while longer, but the new Wear Xpress Mercedes Citaros on the X5 service will be updated before the end of this week.

Do you know when the X1 announcements will be updated with the correct spelling and when the "TEN" will receive NSA's again?

Completely different software for the Next Stop Announcements - and it will depend on what type of Next Stop AV unit the bus has (there are two versions of Hanover systems).

Hi Dan, thanks for the quick reply, how would I know the difference of the two versions?
