Good, because NXWM need the fence later to secure the depot

Just passed an X4 display "Short Journey to Falcon Lodge" and an X5 displaying "Short Journey to Sutton Coldfield". I've also just passed a X14 displaying "Short Journey to Bagot Arms".

I have wondered why timetabled E workings can't display via information? I've seen the 74Es start to display it now but I think others would benefit too. Like I've been on 29Es where people have asked does this go to x to the driver because all it says is Northfield Town Centre.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

The big solo terminal point is deliberate to make people notice them as a short working. Far better to have someone ask the driver if it goes to a place, than someone getting on thinking it is a full journey and getting turfed off half way

Most people do the latter anyway

Fair enough, although surely in the case if the 29 for example they wouldn't be hoping to go to Frankly if it says Northfield anyway.

It works well with the 11. The displays were recently changed to show the whole destination in a big "f*** off" font so the idiots have no excuses.

But you do still get people trying to get on an 11E to Acocks Green when it arrives in Acocks Green.  :D
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
