Which comes back to the point people have made before - nice yellow/orange
LED destination displays would solve that problem (and the 'via' problem)


These can fail as well, of course.

But I agree. *I don't see why London insists on being so backward.
Flipdot displays were crap, so I don't blame them for missing those
out, but it seems LED is a technology with few disadvantages.


I disagree - I think blinds offer superior visibility over LED
displays, *if* they're backlit properly. From a distance I find LED
displays on buses hard to read, and also find the light they emit is
rather harsh.
