Are you updating the number on the X21 so it's the same style as X9 X10 X1 etc

X1 is in a different style to the X7/X9/X10/X66/X84/X85.

The special 'X' route number hasn't been rolled out to the X21 just yet.

A new standardised programme is being rolled out at each depot which involves every single destination display being re-created. Each destination has to be created again, and there's more or less 200 destinations in the combined Chester-le-Street and Stanley programme (keep in mind there's about 10 different destinations for the 21 alone - possibly more!)

There's about ten different types of display in each programme (LED and flipdot/mixed), so that's twenty different displays that each destination has to be created for. Using the figure of 200 destinations above, that's 4000 destinations in total. I only just managed to finish the new standardised programme for Chester-le-Street/Stanley on Thursday afternoon after working on it for over a month, and that was without playing around with route numbers to make them stand out more etc.
