Guess it'll just be branded as a 'trial' for now but whatever they trial these days seems to be successful enough to keep on a more permanent basis. https://flic.kr/p/2kg2Agy
Really don't like this move away from what is considered best practice. There was the excuse given about the Streetdecks display layout making it hard for N/S numbers being hard to read, then the huge green LED being the reasoning why its okay on the Yutongs, but I cannot think of a single reason why its beneficial on the E400s.
There are benefits to having it on the N/S (seeing the route number in traffic being the main one arguably), but I can't think of a single reason behind why you'd want it on the O/S in this instance. It screams of a Best Impressions thing given that its something that's seen in a number of companies they do work for.
