Also, didn't they used to do that at BC for the 957 service? Used to see them in Solihull town centre, alternating through the via points, then showing 'Limited Stop' inverted?

Yes, when the 57/A were made limited stop in 2010.

How about this for an idea? Green display for normal workings, and then orange/amber for short workings?

Obviously, we'd need all bus displays to be full colour for this to be truly effective, but not a bad idea don't you all think?

It could work... or "inverted" colours for short workings to make it look different .. (works on ALL display)

I've seen that done before, last year I think during the BUPA run diversions, when the 1 from Acocks Green was only running as far as Moseley Village.

Indeed!! But it could read "Short Journey" instead. At least it can make people realise it isn't a full working?

Inverted colours are used on 255E journeys to Wall Heath to differentiate them from 255 to Wolverhampton.  It doesn't work - some people still stop a 255E and ask if it's going to Wolverhampton.

To be honest that is because the inverted colours make them more difficult to read. They would be better keeping to the normal colours but putting in huge letters 255E WALLHEATH.

The 255E's use the inverse Black Writing on a yellow display. I have also seen people asking if it goes to Wolverhampton!
