If so Ashington, Blyth, Jesmond and Durham all have it already. The first 3 have had it for awhile now got it around September time.

Oh and there's an Arriva Christmas bus knocking around aswell at Ashington.

Looks like 7512 now has its route number on the offside like GNE. Wonder how long until other buses use that style.

Replacement display, it's a smaller display which is used on the rear of Sapphire buses/Solos, so the number is on the left. Would be too much effort to reprogram it just for one bus which is fitted with it temporarily.
