I was just on 1592, and the front display was so dim I couldn't read it even as it was pulling up at the stop, I just had to put my hand out and hope it was the X1!

The blinds on those MAX spec Lites at Darlington are really dim for some reason and you really have to squint to see them, good job I often check BusTimes prior to travel so I know its my bus before it even appears.

I noted 9042's front blind wasn't working as I saw it running light to St Bede's this afternoon but rear blind was plus a Durham Diamond with rear blind just showing one dot in top left corner.

Hodgsons had Solo YDZ 533 on the 17 in Aycliffe again today with a paper 17 destination in the windscreen.

Arriva are quite bad for keeping displays working and readable, they can be rather dim and years of dirt and dust getting into the glass round the destination makes them more of a challenge to read, apart from one of Belmont’s E200s which for a while was going round on seemingly maximum brightness.
