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.
Cheers for that information I never knew that. And yeah I always wondered why the EcoCity's screens always flashed.
I also think that the new 'Estate' idea on the destination screens is useless, who refers to areas in Darlo as 'Branksome Estate, Mowden Estate, Red Hall Estate' etc. it was better as just 'Branksome' or 'Mowden'.
Are all screen changes region wide changes, for instance did the Newcastle solo's have '2' screens and now back to '3'? Or is it depot based screen changes?
