34218 on 48's this morning, usually always a decker.
35246 was short 302's when I was around this morning, and 35249 on Moorclose 51.

35246 had a stint on Harrington and Seaton after 47024 was pulled off for about an hour and was put back on after it went up to the depot and back.
35246 then went back onto the short 302 after 34218 had a few runs, but began to run behind schedule.

35249 was also replaced by 47006 by dinner time on the 51.

Lillyhall seem to be in the process of updating their displays, again.
"Moorclose Circular" now appears back on one line on LED displays, but different from last times attempt with the route being displayed the same size as the route number, instead of smaller:
47059 with the latest one line display format

The X4/X5 also looks to be getting some display changes as 20913 came in on the X4 ready to go out again, but rwithout scrolling connection details on the LED and just displayed Keswick on the top line then with "For service X50 to Penrith" or something along them lines(!) on the second line - this is also in a rather unconvincing style font! :lol:

Unfortunately 20913 was replaced so a photo opportunity was missed!. The Profiles X4/X5-X50 and Scania's 300-302 connection retain the old style LED format, for now.

Harrington Circular now shown on 1 line on the LED's, as is "Sorry, not in service".
Connecting services on 300-302 are now shown in the same style as Morecambe's displays, which is just Carlisle style without a line between the 2 lines of text.

15686's front bumper has been repainted, and was driving around in service today still with masking tape around the reg plate. Wouldn't it have just been easier to take the reg plate off to repaint it.......?

The new 46B layout:......

Surely Brierydale Circular or Salterbeck & Westfield with the same size fonts would be better. Or even 2 separate displays, "Brierydale via Salterbeck 46B" then "Workington via Moorclose 46B".

Had Brierydale for many many many years, done its job :lol: It would be nice for Brierydale to be incorporated into it again.

I'm sure you have a kinky fetish for blind displays!!! I personally do not think it is as bad as you are making it out to be!

Not bad having them all on one line, makes the actual text bigger than when its on 2 lines. The connect ones would be better with a little bit of blank space between the "Maryport" and "for 300 to Carlisle", looks like an LED version of the old Bright Tech's with their random dots everywhere.

Would be nice if North West could have a standard, clear layout throughout the region, just like Manchester and North East. Gives you enough information about the route without making them look cluttered up. I still think Carlisle's layout is the most clear.

Carlisle due to become like Newcastle with scrolling shortly. On a few routes at least.
