New displays - V514DFT - 15 Jun 2020

It would appear that Arriva have decided to change the Route displays,at first i saw it on 2837,which made me think it was specifically that bus  which is used for the 555,but then i saw it being used on the 553 when i was doing my shopping in Wallsend, about half an hour ago i was coming back from my local shop and saw a decker on the 308 with the same display,i kinda like it,especially with having rubbish eyesight,you can actually see the route numbers again

Yes, I noticed they changed the font in Durham, around the same time they added the thank you key workers message.

Been like that for a few weeks, especially Jesmond.

But the update still thinks the 54 serves Four Lane Ends !!!!

306 & 308 show Silverlink as a via point, but they only stop on sliproads.  Quite a hike from Newcastle bound stop !!

Technically the whole of the road from the roundabout, including the roundabout, to Cobalt is Silverlink not just the retail park.
