A quirk of blinds on buses operated by First. There are a number of
special features on them and many of them work rather well. Needless
to say the BBC (Bus Blinds Committee of TfL - I kid you not)
Boggle

is now stamping on all of this individuality so we can be reduced to
the hopeless dull, uninformative crap that is being seen on new buses
on recently retendered routes. In other words single line destination
displays with no via points and utterly meaningless names for certain
locations - Clapham Park for Streatham Hill, Atkins Rd on the 45s
This single line display with no "via" points is truly *ludicrous*. I
hope it's a fad.

and the now classic Manor Circus which is really Richmond on the route
493. This latter one has now been "repealed" by the BBC and Richmond
can be used on route 493 blinds!
Sanity prevails! Now to work on those "via" points.......
