You could always try visiting the garage and asking to speak to the Engineering Manager. If you don't ask, you don't get... Smile

Can any of you drivers on this forum post a photo of the destination code list located behind you please?

Obviously top secret info as no one has obliged!

Not all depots have a list of destination codes.

I was under the impression (though please someone do correct if necessary) that some depots have the Hanover controllers set up so that just the route number needs entering and the driver then scrolls through to select the destination from a pre-set list associated with the route. Thus, the need for a list of 'destination codes' in every cab is removed. It's quite possible that Southport have chosen this configuration.

Yes your correct mate there is a setting were you can enter a number and then you can scroll through the routes as Arriva Speke have have that setting put on the hannovers and to add to that the newer Hannover displays with the 3 buttons is scroll through mode anyway without any messing about.

I did send you a private message offering to text you a photo of the list. I didn't want to post it on here as people have lost their jobs for what they've put on the Internet.

The destinations at Southport are not programmed in by route number, but are coded. 'Sorry Not In Service', for example, is 0111.
