(13 Jun 2015, 1:28 pm)Dan wrote But 7490 is a hell of a lot louder..!
Second day in a row I have been blessed with being within a few yards of that one and it deafening me...

The destinations on all of the 57-reg series examples are still flashing too.

Think the NSA's are still broken on the 57-reg ones as well, as I was on 7504 yesterday and they weren't on, however they were working on 7522 last night
(13 Jun 2015, 3:56 pm)Dan wrote Any particular reason for the route number being displayed on the right of the rear display on the 57-reg batch and left on the new batch of Sapphires?
Obviously the route number on the left is what is more common on 128x17 rear displays...
