I found this very useful and it look professional (and useful with the ever increasing route varients ie. 7/7A/7E. It seems they are going backwards with the current displays. Also I don't understand how these computerised displays don't sync with the side and rear displays. If that doesn't work you might as well go back to manual blinds at a fraction of the cost. On a separate note what buses are being used on the 44? As Neil and James say what has happened to the old via points.

As for the blinds being a mess, Not something I can comment on really, But I have given my manager a list of the ones that didn't work, The 7A Bletchley being one of them that now works... Hopefully they will be all sorted out in the near future :-/ Well it seems that it’s been decided by someone to get rid of the via points, I don’t know why… As for the blinds being a mess, Not something I can comment on really, But I have given my manager a list of the ones that didn’t work, The 7A Bletchley being one of them that now works… Hopefully they will be all sorted out in the near future :-/
