Default Stockwell RML blinds

I was surprised to learn, now that Stockwell's RMLs have less than a week
left to run, that in addition to displays for Route 11 and the 36 'Extra'
service operated on Notting Hill Carnival days, they also carry panels for
the famous F-suffixed service 406F (Epsom Stn and Racecourse shuttle) and
the 77A.

The 77A is without any via points (the side and rear just show a large route
number, rather like the way some school journeys are shown on OPO workings).
Whilst 'WANDSWORTH' has been included on the utimate destination blind,
other 77A destinations are by dint of using the 11 displays i.e. 'ALDWYCH',
but also 'TRAFALGAR SQUARE' and 'WESTMINSTER STATION'. There is nothing for
'VAUXHALL' or 'CLAPHAM JUNCTION', for example.

Why has the 77A specifically been included? Have any Routemasters been seen
on the route?

Is the 406F on other LG RM/RML sets i.e. at AF, NX and Q?

Regards, Mike

Now I know how mere mortals must feel when computer types have geeky
conversations in the pub.


Thanks for that erudite response, Huge.

Having read the discussions in the NG about topics such as signalling ground
frames, which were not flamed as being 'geeky', there was I thinking that
this was a forum for discussing topics related to transport in London.

If bus blinds arer't your thing, Huge, why not show some tolerance and
refrain from ****ing on someone else's bonfine?

Whats wrong with being geeky? I'd take it as a compliment if I were you, I
read it as "Wow, I'm in over my depth here, this guy obviously knows his
subject, I'm in awe", not a flame

If I've misread your intentions, Huge, I'm big enough to apologise, ok?
