I quite liked 277 on the villager when it wasn't busy.
346 has had a small livery update with the additional light blue swoosh between the yellow and darker blue similar to the electrics.

But 480/483 might have fancied a ride out on the Threes. I'm sure the threes is super reliable now it has those newer Enviro 200MMCs.

Advancements are being made in terms of (re-)adding next stop announcements/displays to the pre-2015 registered buses as some of the 11-plate versas (802 at least) now features a small dot matrix display where it would be usually mounted on later models of versas

Sadly, no, as when I was on board, it was very busy (and very late due to multiple sets of roadworks on the 15 route)

Looks similar to the screens on the red arrow. They seem very small compared to normal NSA systems, but I assume they meet the necessary regs?

Yes these are made by Aesys too as are the TFTs on most (other than Kinch vehicles and red arrows) which are Hanover
All compliant

I like how Trent Barton sometimes uses this format:
“next stop/destination”
[Location in sentence case].

It's been a long winded process and admittedly things have taken far longer than they should have to get this far but it's great to see the extensive background work come to life

Central connect never got theirs to work when I used them, they did have these same displays though.

Personally I'm not a fan of Aesys but they are fairly reliable and a competitive price.

It is 824
And no we don't, the ones we kept are a painful memory of the times we shared with them.

You loved them. You had no choice at the time.

Prontos calvertons and 141s were all a great way to avoid them! As were connects and 90s then

Following on from recent discussions @Trainman40083 you'd be delighted to hear that both 480/3 ended up on the threes yesterday whilst 814 ended up on connect.

Will it go on all the routes or be limited to a set few like 703 was?

Surprised Brandon isn't still attached to the steering wheel.

He only lasted a week
It's only to be used on the duplicates at the moment, but it's being returned to Langley Mill by Tuesday at the latest for Download shuttle duties.
483 has spent a long day on the threes today

Looks like you tried to hide in in Hucknall bus museum, so it could be preserved.

Time certainly flies when you're having fun! You did a great job mate, we managed to get our moneys worth out of the old girl! 703, not you!

846 tracking on the red arrow today with 3 of the branded yutongs seemingly out of action

Maintenance or MOT even most likely, its coming up to the (well, almost) first year of those yutongs in service

Primarily to be used on the additional 90 and 3C duplicate runs but it did make a trip to Nottingham today on the threes

What on earth happened to Villager Enviro 200MMC 305 ? It appears to have some offside damage .

I read on the post it was something to do with boy racers.. do believe this accident was a couple of weeks back though.
