Why they changed it to just a number on such a long screen baffled me anyway! Glad it's back to the way it was
When the screens are programmed, each one has its own identity: 0 is front, 1 is side, 2 is rear. Since most buses only have number screens '2' is used. However, the option to have a full rear screen is '3'. I've attached a screenshot of the software to show how it works if anyone is interested.
There is a little dial on each screen showing 0-9 which matches with the programming software. For some reason the solos with big screens were set to 2, but by changing them to 3 it shows the full screen. 2838/9 at Durham have also been done, and work is being done to stop the Ecocitys from flashing constantly.
