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.
The advertising screens are a good idea but when I've been on the X1 I think the text is too small and you can't see it from a certian point. Possibly could look at making the text a bit bigger?
