Default Bus destination blinds - how are they decided?

[Tim Roll-Pickering]
Similarly where do I go to tell TfL that "Queen Mary & Westfield College" is
out of date and should read "Queen Mary, University of London" on the bus
stops, timetable and DLR area map? This one seriously annoys me - QMW is
seriously out of date and everything now says QMUL.

Sometimes changing the name to an updated name causes more confusion.

Old historical names or defunct landmarks are SOMETIMES more useful to
the travelling public.


If you're trying to find "Queen Mary, University of London," I agree
with Tim's implicit point that another name for it would only be confusing.

And drivers lack of geography in some cases is so shameful that it's
of little use to them.

The cost of all these changes must be huge in itself, let alone the
comittee deciding on them in weekly meetings.


I'm not sure such a committee exists.
