Abbreviated destination blinds on the District such as 'Ealing',
'Putney' and 'High Street' have not been seen since the retirement of
R/CO/CP stock in about 1983. Actually there's the exception of
'Olympia' which is still seen on D stock (both before and after
refurbishment). Also I did once see a train of original D stock on the
High Street-Olympia shuttle with the ambiguous 'Kensington' on the
blind.


Oh i don't know, i think that's rather efficient. I mean, whichever way
it's going, it's correct!
