Electronic bus destination blinds
Mrs Redboots wrote:
The other day, I was in a car being driven northbound past Euston station, and happened to catch sight of a bus whose destination blind read "Short journey; ask driver!" We pondered this for awhile and assumed it would mean that the bus in question was stopping somewhere its destination blind didn't say, which is fair enough. But this sparked a discussion as to why modern buses don't have electronic destination blinds. I know the system was tried - I used to see the odd 35 with them - but presumably it was too prone to failure? On the other hand, if they can have electronic destination blinds on trains (which they not only can, but do), why don't they have them on buses? I have yet to see an electronic destination indicator on the front of a bus or train with the same legibility as London bus blinds (Johnston Bus or Underground typeface, yellow on black). -- Richard J.
