Is there a reason so many Arriva destination blinds are either faded, faulty, or just not working altogether? At least in Durham/Bishop


When I was waiting for the X1 yesterday morning, one of the buses they had on the 6 had the front blind so dim it was pretty much unreadable until it was at the stop. I've also seen quite a few with the side one only half working, and the back ones seem to be completely dead more often than not!


I genuinely can't remember the last time I saw a GNE bus with a dodgy blind, and they both use Hanover displays, so I'm guessing it's not the parts being unreliable? Unless GNE are just on the ball with replacing them and Arriva aren't?
