I know the recent additions (X21 and X1 for example) have had even one a day or alternative workings programmed. So for example the X21 announces the New Inn route on a night, and the X1A is also announced.
Yes - Venture is on the (growing) list of things to do, in between various new buses being delivered and service changes affecting buses with Next Stop Announcements. Hoping to have Venture complete at some point this month or next, but it's a massive network like Peterlee, so quite time-consuming. I'm looking to introduce advertising slides similar to the Red Arrows on Venture 689, where there are large gaps between each stop on hail and ride sections. At present the screen goes back to the aforementioned default logo slide after ten minutes, which I've never been keen on when using the 689.
Look and listen out for the Fab56 being refreshed in May. All variations of the service (daytime 56, morning journey via Peel Retail Park, evening/Sunday journeys via Springwell Estate and nightbus N56) will be programed. The previously discussed issues with the routing into Sunderland will be fixed too - St. Mary's Way then St. Michael's Way will be announced, rather than the now-pedestrianised Londonderry Pub and Sunderland Empire.
