centra bus blind
 

hi all,
having looked through a number of pictures of centra buses. at their
depot. And I was wondering what was ment on a blind display that had a
red background and "V.O.R." on it, was it to denote dead running or
rail replacement or special Service etc... Any help would be muchly
appreciated,
TIA

VOR would normally mean "Vehicle off road", but I've never seen it on a
blind. Presumably, it'd be wound round to give the "fix me" message to
depot staff, and to serve as a reminder to drivers coming on shift not
to take that bus out.

Speaking of Centra, am I right in thinking they have lost all of their
London Buses routes? The 152 seems to be Travel London now (even saw a
Double Decker on it the other day!) and the 200 is London General.

.... and following up my own post, this seems to sum things up nicely!
