Halton Transport

RE: Halton Transport
Gah! I travel all that way just to get a shot of the 801, and what do I get but a scrambled display! Both half of the display not working (displaying 'S . . d Avenue'), and also only a line a few pixels thick shows up on the photo, due to the type of display.
At least I got a ride on the 801 though, which is in my opinion a thoroughly boring and pointless service -- something which the driver and I agreed on.

In fact, I couldn't get decent photos out of the 12a or 14a either, due to the same problem.
There was at least one Enviro out on the 14a, but I only managed to photo that towards Liverpool; but it was the 'Waterfront, The Hive' destination that I was out for.

EDIT: For anyone interested, the 12a shows up as service 12 on tickets and the on-board passenger information systems.
I imagine this is because it's what the driver keys in for this service, as usually letters aren't available.
Since there's no service 12, that number is available as a 'cover' for 12a, but the same can't be said about the 2a, 14a, 61a or 62a.
Does anyone know which codes they use for these services? -- I imagine that for the 14a they use whatever they used to use for the 14c.
I know that for the 20a, they used to use 620.
