Bright-Tech Developments went bust a few years ago, although a company called Candella now offers spare-part assistance.

Those new LEDs are more likely to be Hanovers.

MX12 KWE on the 418/419 today

If im not mistaken the dot matrix displays in them were Hannover already so it will of been a case of changing the unit

4000-4002 will have had Flipdot displays originally, which are Hanovers so simple case of fitting the LED ones and hooking it up to the same controller.

Indeed Jordan same as what I was thinking and I guess just front LED like the other 2

also talking about LED what are arriva putting on front for 174/5

A2B and Eazibus used the following
174 Heswall
174 Lower Village
175 Heswall
175 Irby

but merseytravel may want 174 Heswall Circular

as I did not manage to see the bus yet I wonder has anyone noticed?

When they were new they had blinds, then Blue Bus put in green Hanovers.

I do know that as they were allocated to my local depot and have rode all 3.
Correct Dan and Andy. The rear never worked on any of them

Probably came out of 7558.
Does anyone know if 7635 is withdrawn or not, doesnt
appear to have moved for months now

3010 back in service on 403 complete with rear-end only paint job and fleet number in Arriva blue. Pity they didn't take the opportunity to apply the interurban livery as this bus is now 3 years old.[/size][/font]
