Nope - it's called DDA compliance and thus will be implemented
everywhere. Quite why Lothian Buses are compliant with their via points
and TfL must be different no one has properly explained.
And that is one ray of hope I retain for future provision of "via"
points, old optimist that I am.

Reducing the amount of information so the limited amount left is legible
is wooly thinking at best.

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 This latter one has now been "repealed" by the BBC and Richmond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.......

This has been argued endlessly on various yahoo type groups including
input from people very senior and very close to the debate. I fear
there is no possible reprieve for via points on front blinds in the same
way as there is no likely reprieve for proper timetables, timetable
booklets and possibly the quadrant bus maps -
Is any/all of that because of DDA-related issues?

it is rumoured only one or
maybe two more editions will be published before they die at the hands
of "simple" information.
I want to move to Switzerland.......
