The Next Stop Announcements on vehicles new between 2010 and 2014 run off a HANCIS Next Stop Announcement system - this is powered by Windows XP, and behind the scenes it is just like a normal computer. That is why the vehicles which have had Next Stop Announcements the longest incur the most faults - you wouldn't run a PC for six years, for around 15 hours a day!
In line with Windows XP being discounted (2014), a new system (HTC) was introduced. This is powered by Linux. In Go North East's fleet, all of the vehicles with the new LED screen, as well as the two AD122 Solos, are powered by this system. It's a lot more robust.
