Messages and audio was enabled - if anyone travels on one and the audio is not working, please just PM me with the fleet number and I will have a look at it.
You will know if the vehicle has been updated as it will scroll the message 'Welcome Aboard, this is the Red Kite 45 service to Newcastle' for example.
Are the next stop displays that are on the 78 Streetlites, going to be introduced as standard across new purchases?
It reminds me of the display in my doctors surgery.
Although the screens/monitors used on vehicles like the X1 have been temperamental and can rattle, they look better.
They also have the benefit of being able to show advertisements and raise additional revenue, offsetting any fare increases.
Obviously that can only be a good thing.
