Where's the error in that? I know that's not the order in which it passes them, but I wouldn't call that an error, just slightly unconventional.

Strictly speaking, any destination display that includes via points becomes incorrect as soon as it passes the first one, unless it updates itself en route, which I guess is technically feasible, although I'm not aware of any that do so.

Volvo B7R/Plaxton Profile coaches 53258 SP56EBM and 53290 SP07HHU have both been branded for route X5, the branding being very similar to that in the promotional drawings.

   

53290 pictured - I'll get better pics and get them onto Flickr at the weekend!

Looks good!

I see they left enough space to add 'Warrington' on the side in the future too
Okay now I'm getting ahead of myself.
