Default Electronic bus destination blinds

"Tim Scott" wrote in message ...
I recall there were a couple of T's (Titan's) as you mention trialed on the
35 and 45??

Some of the former London Buses sent off to sister companies such as
Stagecoach etc converted their London style blinds to the electronic style
ones.

Examples:

DMS/NV's from London General/Central going to Go Ahead North East
Various Stagecoach vehicles including the earlier discarded TA's (Tridents)
going to Stagecoach Hull, Cambridge. Southcoast and Manchester, Devon kept
the London style blinds;
VA's from London United/VN's going to First Leeds (though Potteries have not
gone electronic)

As mentioned Oxford, some First buses in Edinburgh/Glasgow have the
electronic displays


And Stageecoach in Cambridge. The blinds tend to alternate
automatically between 'Citi [route no.], then 'City Centre' and '&
[destination]'.
