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]'.

And First in York, where they cycle through three sets of info, route
number and colour, destination, and "PARK & RIDE" where relevant.
