Default Not being let off the bus - this cant be correct?

Another thing I think is a good practice that's only adopted on some
routes is having a black-on-yellow strip on the destination blind
reading "parrtial route" or something similar. This clearly provides a
visual aid to passengers that the bus isn't going all the way (IYSWIM!).


*Does* this system exist "on some routes" in London?! I've seen it
done in Paris but never in London!


I've seen it done on the 207, when there's a short working from
Shepherd's Bush to Ealing Hospital or Acton Tram Depot; the blind says
the destination with "Part route only" below it in smaller type, all
black-on-yellow.

I think it's very useful, and should be extended to other routes if
possible.

(Actually, some form of "flag" to suggest a short working, such as
Travel West midlands' "E" suffix, is I reckon a good, simple idea.)
