Hi all,

I saw this on the front of a 91 the other day, shortly after it
had left its Crouch End terminus. Since double-decker buses aren't
the easiest things to turn around, except at authorised
turnarounds, I am surprised that the blind didn't specify the
point where the bus was turning, and that it did say what it said.
Is it a new policy not to bother putting known emergency
turnarounds on blinds?


Buses on the 91 were displaying this before when there was some big
disruption going on, I think it was possibly the rugby world cup
celebrations or some sort of protest. It could be that they use it when
they think they'll have to turn buses around but don't know where they
will end up doing it because of being uncertain about what sort of
disruption there will be. That's just a guess though.
