South Shields-based Enviro200s
36468 and
36473 (Photos @ Steven Hodgson) have followed
Stockton's MAN Enviro300 24106 in having larger font front displays rather than the larger font main display and standard font lower line display.
That means on the Hanover software program, once you create a blind, you have to 'drop' it from normal font to 'super x' font which allows the scrolling. When it has been 'dropped', the user has told the system to fix the font size on both top and bottom lines rather than allow the program to use the 'standard' super x font on the bottom line. To be honest, this is quite easy to do in error as it is only a tick box.

The one thing is, 24106 was showing the scrolling line for a while with the 'super x' font (one of only three of the batch with the normal font/'super x' font layout, the other 12 have their displays programmed with 'super x' font for both lines) and then all of a sudden one day this happen. So, something has happened when the driver changed the display.
The only thing that could have happened to change the way the text is displayed is that the destinations have been
re-programmed as all of what I was saying is done on a pc and then uploaded via a memory stick to the vehicles.
Here's a few piccys of the new interior adverts as applied to Teesside's 24109.
The new-look fare adverts have now start to appear on Stockton vehicles:
MAN Enviro300s 24104/8 have both 1 day and Megarider ones
Olympians 16838/9 have just the Daytripper ones

Are we now going to get lists of every bus with the new vinyl?

Answer to that is no. Just hightlighting the first ones to get them. Hartlepool Darts 34567 and 34606 have the Hartlepool versions as well as 'Mega Value...' as well, the first ones from that depot to have them.
Just to show how they look, here is
The Teesside 'Daytripper' advert and
The 'Megarider' one.
Right, now that we've seen what they look like (how riveting), and know the first to get the treatment, time to move on....
