I also saw a 19 bus that was using white letters, rather than yellow, on

I'm not imagining this, am I? Bus destination blinds really are changing
colour? I saw a bus the other day which looked odd, and it took me a
while to figure out what was "wrong".


There is a progressive programme to swap the blinds to white on black
from yellow on black. I don't really understand *why* it has been
done.


Thanks. My money is on Boris getting backhanders from Big Blind
corporations

I've also noticed a few more blinds showing odd things of late, but that
could be random. I know enough to think "hmm, there aren't usually any
buses to Putney from here, I'll ask the driver whether he is really
going to Crystal Palace", but a lot of people stood back, even when the
driver tried to convince them there was a problem.
