You & ThinLizzy are lucky guys, sadly I'll probably never get to sample an Arrow. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to have grown up where I was where I could sample RM's, L's (the proper ones), M's & T's as well as others like VC's & NV's without leaving my area but it would of been nice to sample an Arrow once. Same can be said for a Dominator, never rode one of them either (the LT ones on the 133 were before I was born) Honestly the Arrows and Lances were great buses to travel on. It's a shame the Lances from Stagecoach didn't last that long. I know TB also had some for the 208 before it moved to the 227. Those buses with the right driver can really fly. I think that's where the euro 2 zf dennis trident got it's inspiration from as they sound so similar. They had the same engine

82051 LED blinds: It has all the HK DD routes all the LI DD routes and 236 for some reason Some NS DD routes but not 365 and 498??? BK 238 WH 474 TL 47,199,N199 TB: 61 That’s strange with the 236 because also someone on YouTube made a blind change video of one of the Gemini 3s at LI and it also had the 236 on it too! What makes this weird is that the 236 has never had a DD on it The W14 was the same at [EC] which had the blinds on the DLA's but never saw one run on the route

Personally I think it was better off without the logo, if THIS is the way they put it... Attachments:

Seems like another faulty LED screen at the front of the bus! They seem have have issues on these Volvo buses. Granted they have a reputation for not being reliable, but I’ve hardly seen any issues with the Arriva ES’s, TUK’s BYDs or any of Metroline’s (although they also have Volvo BZLs with those screens) I’ve seen quite a few issues with RATP’s ones but they have by far the most of them by quantity

Seems like another faulty LED screen at the front of the bus! It's terrible on the 276, whenever I see a 276 half of the time it has a faulty LED screen at the front, back or side

The supplier have been replacing all of the faulty units over the past weeks and there should have been a noticeable improvement - when they sre working they are superb.

They really are superb, good that they’re being replaced. These screens should be mandated on all new vehicles, not the Hanovers
