Long after the new "1" in New Johnston had become widespread in bus
blinds and elsewhere, route "11" Routemaster blinds retained the
original figure "1", i.e. without the serif, which was most noticeable
when the buses were route-branded with "11" in New Johnston on each
side of the blind box, but the blind itself continued to contain the
old lettering.

I always thought that the serif on the "1" in New Johnston was an
aberration on what is meant to be a sans serif font, and am delighted
to see the return of the old elegant "1", and the more logical and
attractive "4" as well.
