Default Bus destination blinds - how are they decided?

For as long as I've been taking it (i.e. at least 7 years), the 47 has
shown a destination of "Catford Bus Garage". Today I noticed that the
new destination blinds now say "Bellingham" in large letters, with
"Catford Bus Garage" in smaller letters next to it.


Just wondering, who makes these decisions? Is there some sort of
consultation process, or is it just someone in head office?


Please god let it be the latter ... a consultation process (no matter
how small a process) for something as minor as this would be an
extraordinary waste of money.

Why do buses going to the same terminus at Lewisham sometimes say "Lewisham"
or "Lewisham Station" and sometimes "Lewisham DLR". It must be a committee!
Of course, you can't actually go to the bus garage, they expect you to get
off before then!




That might imply that each bus company designs its own, rather than
them being imposed by TfL. Is there a correlation between the
different versions and the company?
