Very rare for all four to be out at once too though I think it happened this week. They did try timed boards last year or possibly the year before but I think unreliability made it just as pointless as random operation. Should say as well of course if you look at bustimes on the morning you will see the board and runs they are allocated to that day (subject to being swapped off) so not the end of the world.

It might be fun for a kid but if I was using a bus I don't want an open top bus with it's plastic seats and grotty interior.
Beg to differ on this, plenty of times I've heard people (families with kids, and adult couples without kids etc) over the moon to see an open topper turn up and in contrast don't think I've ever heard anyone moan about one appearing. It might be different once the new electrics arrive but the standard stuff chucked on the Es currently is hardly luxury.
