The silver arrows bus used already was displaying 2C instead of 61 heading for Sunderland then I saw a simplicity with 60 destinations but no number then a drifter on the 42. Yes I know the 42 is always drifter on Sundays but looks silly using this then a simplicity on 60. I know they interwork but how confusing for passengers using these four routes
I'm inclined to suggest 8326 may have replaced a Streetlite mid-day on services 42/60 today. As you know, both of these services should be allocated Streetlites on Sundays. These vehicles are selected above red spares as they have better fuel economy, making the operation of these Sunday services (which often run at a loss or breakeven) more justifiable.
I cannot excuse drivers changing the destination display that early, though, and this is something I have complained about myself in the past.
