i saw the Sprinter twice and both times no boards to be seen, Whos the other operator as only one i can think of is Cumfybus however its been some time since i have seen one of their Buses with no working dests

Is this the 54 reg Solo? It had working destinations the other day on the 141.

It may well be a 61 reg solo though can't be specific

I saw the Sprinter myself on three different occasions and saw the boards and I know the boards were present as I saw them being issued at the time. Yes I am referring to Cumfybus who have had various Optares on the 193 even lately with an A4 sheet of paper in the window with just a route number.

No am not talking about the 54 Reg Solo, The 63 Reg one, theres now 2 Darts with no working Dests, SUH and BMO

Is it the same problem that keeps occurring with all the ones with defective destinations as HTL seem to have regular problems with destinations not working.

There are three Darts with non working destinations, BMV is the other. BMOs do work but sometimes go out and it isn't very consistent, they can work for hours and just suddenly go out or work for a matter of minutes and go out. SUH destinations have a problem with the controller itself giving an error message. RHE only has three destinations programmed (137/138/A10) as it was only ever intended to stay on those routes, but things happened which saw this change and RHE has a different Hanover set up to the other buses in the fleet so they don't have the right software.

The biggest problem is the fact that as drivers, these buses are being signed off on a daily basis and we can't do anything more than that so are left to work with what we have. I believe there is someone coming in to look at those buses soon though.

Noticed 2 more Solos with failed dests YJ12 PNK and YJ16 DYF, Have to admit it does not look good a brand new Bus with already broken dests.

DYFs destinations go off intermittently but the blame with that lies with Optare on delivery, they are still waiting for them to rectify it.

Must be close to double figures now with the number of Buses with broken dests, Ok the White Solo SR and DYF aint HTLs fault but the others are
