To be Frank, the X66 one needs a major overhaul - it seems at present the Darlington bound ones are both set up to go to Faverdale.

I've never understood why Arriva insist on using one line on the driver message only? It's baffling, and means that things are unnecessarily abbreviated, which is why (in my opinion) the wrong displays end up being used.

There are separate displays set up for evening and Sunday Go North East X10 journeys and these state:
"X10 Middlesbro.
Eve and Sunday"

The first one in the list is the bog standard "X10 Middlesbro.", and I regularly see this one being wrongly used on a Sunday, despite the evening and Sunday variant having a crystal clear driver message.

Unless there's a note on the driver's running/duty board, I wouldn't be sure that the right destination is used all of the time by every single driver.
