Why do non-powerblinds look so horrible? The ones at DT on the DWs aren't even two years old yet they look so dirty and mangled. Also, why aren't new ones made in the new style (Qualifier underneath and in capitals)? Only smart blinds specify the Capital Letters not manual blinds. The blinds on DW423 & DW424 are not dirty and are very clear... I’ve seen both of then this week and your description does not add up... Here is a recent photo of DW424 and you can clearly see they are not dirty...

Power blinds are made of plastic film, so the material is inherently smoother and also allows greater light transmission from the backlight.

Sounds like they haven’t had the best engineers constructing their infrastructure

Crash on upper Richmond road, everyone out of both cars thankfully. Huge traffic jam with loads of buses just parked up. Police not on scene.

Also, why aren't new ones made in the new style (Qualifier underneath and in capitals)? Its not the blinds dirty, its the blindbox glass. You would be surprised how much of a difference it makes when the blindbox glass is clean.

I have a question, has the H12 ever gone further than Stanmore Station. The reason I ask is I had a elder lady, argue with me for terminating at Stanmore and I was trying to explain to her as far as I am aware the H12 has never gone further than Stanmore and asked her if she was thinking of the 142 or another route. She said no the H12 then I said you must be mistaken as the H12 used to go to Harrow Weald around 30 years ago and then at some point after that it got extended here to Stanmore. She frowned at me and walked off shaking her head telling me I know nothing.

The previous incarnation 209 went to Edgware between Nov 85 to Nov 87 but it went via the 340 route so didn’t serve Stanmore station except for early Saturday mornings where it terminated there. The lady must be thinking of the 209 as it used to only go to Harrow Weald but with peak extensions to Northwick Park via current H18 route. It got extended to Edgware in 1985 and then renumbered to H12, was single-decked and cut back to Stanmore in 1987. The 209 remained as DD SDO workings of H12 until 1992 when the DD SDO workings were incorporated into the H12 www.londonbuses.co.uk/_routes/withdrawn/209-1.html

That she didn't even say, when I asked her she just said it didn't used to stop at Stanmore.

Regarding the 209 this is why I asked if it was the 142 ot another route she was thinking of she made it quite clear she meant the H12.
