I believe there was messages linked to the bell push - please remain seated and all that mumbo-jumbo. It was never removed after the trial (bit like 5390's front destination), and wasn't functional other than the "BUS STOPPING" message and an attempt at showing the service number and terminus.
Think the trial took place prior to 2011 (which is when this vehicle was re-allocated to Deptford for service X3 from Washington, following the entry into service of the Volvo B9TLs on the X1).
I reckon you just fancied bringing the X3 up really, and you weren't particularly bothered about getting an answer to your question! Poor Greg in Weardale was having withdrawal symptoms - it hasn't been mentioned for so long!
