Default Stagecoach London Sale

You want Piccadilly Circus, but you a tourist unfamiliar with London.
Is this bus going there, or has it passed there already?


Valid point.

Of course, with modern technology in the form of LED displays you can
get clever, and remove the already-passed points, replacing them with
others, using GPS.

For MK Metro's benefit, that means you can do better than just
displaying "BLETCHLEY" in very large letters, which isn't a useful
piece of information as most of the southbound routes end up there.
That's just lazy. Stagecoach seem to have a much better idea of how to
use these displays on modern buses.
