Rail symbol on tram destination blinds
On a recent trip by Tramink, I was struck by the fact that the former
'double arrow' symbol still widely used to identify National Rail stations does not appear on the trams' relevant destination blinds, eg Elmers End, Beckenham Junc. and Wimbledon. Here in Belgium, the corresponding symbol provides a convenient way of emphasising the way road and rail services are integrated. Is this an example of the 'not invented here' syndrome, or is there some other simple explanation? Regards, - Alan (in Brussels) |

Interestingly, though unrelated to the original question, some (but strangely not all) 258s to Watford Junction show the Tube symbol as well as the NR one - is this in anticipation of the going-ahead (and timely completion) of the Croxley Link?

I have noticed recently that there's a little blob appearing next the the double arrow symbol in modern usage. I take this blob to be an R in a circle, so perhaps there is an issue over trademark protection or licensing which makes it less hassle and less expensive not to use the symbol. -- http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p12686827.html (Quite a steep gradient: Chester Zoo Overhead Railway - Train 1, 2000) |

Here in Belgium, the corresponding symbol provides a convenient way of emphasising the way road and rail services are integrated. But Tramlink is not a road service, it's a rail service. District Line trains to Wimbledon have never, AFAIK, had a BR symbol on the destination blind, so why would you expect Tramlink to have one? The double-arrow and roundel symbols are used on the front of buses as a short hand for "Station", and generally bus blinds have changed overnight from displaying "Station" to using the symbols. Therefore their presence on a bus blind informs that the bus terminates at Mytown Station, as opposed to Mytown ASDA or Mytown Library or some vaguely specified part of Mytown. There is no need for such a designation on a tram route where every stop has a precise name. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Indeed, and I am very favorably impressed by the 'semi-geographic' style of display currently used at key points on the London bus network. But it's very noticable that a significant proportion of passengers still seek confirmation from the driver that the bus is actually going where they want to get to. On Tramlink, the dot matrix displays at stops provide valuable real-time information - but in a very compressed form because of their limited capacity - so that they fall back to the advice to observe the tram's destinantion blind. In fact, it was because *the trams' destination blinds closely resemble those on buses* (rather than the scrolling dot-matix displays on the latest EMUs) that I wondered why the double-arrow symbol doesn't appear on them.

It's still a double arrow symbol, even if it's being used for "National Rail" instead of British Rail. I'm glad to hear that. But when at Wimbledon, I noticed that it isn't used on the panel indicating the interchange facilities (where eg the the LT 'roundel' is used to point the way to the District Line platforms) ; instead, the 'generic diesel loco front' symbol (I think it may be a UIC pictogram for a railway station; it's not in the Highway Code or anywhere else I've looked) is used to flag the way to SW Trains etc. on platforms 1-8. So I suspected the double-arrow symbol might be just a relic. Regards, - Alan (in Brussels) |

Two sets of friends in North Yorks ("one bus a week on Thursdays") still cannot get over the fact that despite being 8 miles from the centre of London, we have buses every 3 minutes in the peak, every 5 minutes off-peak, and night buses stopping within short walking distance every 10 minutes throughout the night. A bit further up the road there are 36 buses an hour each way in the peak period. I say all this not to be boastful, but to point out that only very high-frequency operation will persuade people to move from cars to buses. I wouldn't dream of driving into central London any more, nor would any of my neighbours - the bus (+ train) is more reliable, quicker, cheaper and more pleasurable - it is MUCH easier to read the paper when on the bus than when driving, for instance, and it is rather fun to strike up the odd conversation with a stranger instead of being in the hermetically sealed mobile box that we call a car, interacting with others only by honking the horn or flashing the lights in anger. Having said all that, I fully understand why folk in outer suburban and rural areas could hardly exist without a bus - there has to be some sort of critical mass to tip the balance towards public transport. Once that happens, the results can be astonishing - something like Countdown then just becomes the icing on the cake. -- Paul Terry |

Thinking about it a bit more, perhaps three routes isn't as exceptional as i'd thought. There were four to where i lived in Hackney, and there are at least three to Holloway - the problem is that only one or two were ever any use to me, but that's due to the fairly narrow range of places i needed to get home from late at night! tom -- It is a formal cultural policy to show unreasonable bias towards any woman who is both attractive and wierd. |

I believe that is a larger amount than in any other London borough: http://www.richmond.gov.uk/depts/env...ks/default.htm My point is that Richmond is an area of relatively low population density in London terms (30 per hectare, compared with 56 per hectare in Waltham Forest, for example). Despite this, much of the area can sustain high-frequency bus services. I don't want to over-simplify, though: part of the reason is that wide tracts of open parkland separate areas of quite high-density housing and that is an ideal combination for high-frequency bus routes.
