Default Rear Route Indicator on Double Deckers

Outside of London most operators ceased using the rear blinds in the
1970s or 1980s, so there can't be a regulation requiring it. That,
however, was in the days of roller blinds.


When I was a youngster in Edinburgh they removed the rear numbers so that
people wouldn't run after a bus and dangerously jump on to it while it was
moving.

They put them back after finding that people still jumped on, asked what
bus they were on, and then even more dangerously jumped off when they found
it wasn't the right route.
