Destination displays

[Bus_user_jay]

I noticed a few blinds were different on direction too... seems a bit odd...

6874 has this... pen like device attached to the destination display controller. Does it change the destination display automatically or something else?

7E is missing an 'E' from the front destination display which displays "Witton 7" which I saw on my bus recently.

Maybe it's declaring support to to a certain nearby football team...

Witton 7
St Andrews 17 :-)

It wasn't ArieI Bold, It was a font designed by the company that used to programme the blinds. As they had copyright to it when we stopped using them someone at NX redesigned it slighty to avoid copyright breach, so the current one doesn't have a name and is only usedon NX Blinds

Just seen a 16 go passed which alternated between Hamstead 16 and Service on diversion 16 in a different font. Not seen that before.

I know this is an old post and things have probably been changed again, but I believe that 'timetabled' short journeys don't show the -E suffix. For instance the YW 2 doesn't go to Maypole on Sundays but the destination shows '2 Warstock' rather than 2E.

Short workings of WN2 to the city centre do show 2E. However this is the only one I can recall seeing.

I think its to do with the NSA, when it was PART ROUTE the NSA wouldn't work but if it was a short journey with a via the NSA would work.

I guess thats probably just because they've not been programmed in.
Like how the PB 14, 65/67 BC 94/95, 877, etc don't have them as they've not been programmed in.

Wolverhampton 1, 11 & 59 show E suffix on the short workings, especially 59s that complete the Griffiths Drive loops and terminate at either Ashmore Park top shops or the The Ashmore pub. I've seen 1E for City Centre and 11E for The Scotlands terminations too.

While I was in Birmingham and Solihull the other day I seen the X2 with new rear display I quite liked it,

The other day I saw a platinum on the 16 that alternated between:
16 Hamstead

and:
16 Hamstead
via Hockley

All of the BC platinums seem to have the new format on their rear displays, apart from 6841, 7522 - which displays don't work, 6873 - which doesn't have a rear display and 6879 - which, last time I checked, was using the old format
