I think that all the destinations have been added at a later date. It is now possible to display (at least it is on 3319) Ormskirk on the upper blind and SOUTHPORT on the lower blind.

When I have one on a Wigan I used Wigan at bottom and skem on top same on way back but with southport instead of Wigan I also use southport on top when I'm on 43/46 with them and lord street on a 49

Very good,I suppose with the destinations available on the top being mostly school related (appart from Wigan,Ormskirk,Skem and Southport) one is limited to what you can use.Maybe '49 Pinfold Lane WOODVALE' or maybe in the extreme '42 Kew Town Lane WALNUT STREET' '44 KGV FORMBY' or '44 Kew Town Lane FORMBY' !! P.S. Any idea what will happen to these blinds when removed from the Palatines?

I think the 47/48 should be Sapphired, and compete more with Stagecoaches X2, management have never reacted to their service, it is far superior and is often well loaded.... so why dont Arriva retalliate i wonder?

At some point tomorrow we will be in Southport and will hopefully be riding on Palatine's and Darts. Any real time sightings posted into the this thread tomorrow will be most welcome and I will post my interesting sightings into this thread signal and battery permitting!

Thanks in advance...

I completely agree with this - and now would be a perfect time to do something like that as Stagecoach's 2X2-branded Enviro400s are really getting "old". The two 2X2-branded examples that I had today weren't great in quality - 15468 provided a very rough and uncomfortable ride this morning, whilst 15474's heaters were blowing cold air on the last journey from Preston to Liverpool after the bus needed to be boosted to restart...! Arriva could easily outstand Stagecoach with "SAPPHIRE treatment" at the moment.
