I’ve noticed in the last few months that the spotlights and window side lights on AWC super voyagers haven’t been turned on as of yet. Does anyone know a reason for this?

Many thanks.

They are normally on. Them not being is a sign of an electrical fault.
Must be many electrical faults, I’ve admittedly not been on a huge amount of voyagers now that AWC hardly run them outside of diesel only routes, but of the 6 I’ve been on since the December TTC, I recall only ~1 set has had them turned on.

Yep, Voyagers have electrical faults by the minutes. Everything working in a coach (all lighting and the reservation displays) seems a rarity.

Is this in sync with Meridians too? As noted not every reservation screen is functional when I've used them.

Looks like faults as everyone else has said, I was on a voyager on Friday and it was the ceiling lights that weren't working, but all the spot lights and lights above the windows were on.

Do you think? That’s certainly not as per my experiences.
I’d say the 390s are worse for that, and without doubt MK4s are worse still.
