Unavailable after 7 minutes .. was it fake? Never saw the photo It's still there but you have to be a member of the "The Londoner" Facebook group to see it. It's photographs of E271 in Lewisham showing 178 to Oxford Circus and E275 in Woolwich showing 178 to Moorgate, both about 20 metres away from their final setdown stops. Personally I think blind scrolls at the end of routes and buses switched off mid scroll at stands aren't really fair game for "banditry" posts, but they seem to be popularly presented as such. Must be these pictures by @gellico These blinds were probably changing while the bus was moving. Any little thing these days gets classed as banditry. Roller blinds so old now, as long as buses are introduced with Smart blinds McKenna brothers biggest customer is TFL flic.kr/p/2e8PJCBflic.kr/p/24V9aSr

Agreed, there seems to be a small group who think scrolling blinds just prior to destinations or whilst on the move mid destination change mean banditry and that they must photo and post them at any cost.

E177 on the 147 with the rear blinds stuck on 656 & 667. Add to that E178 which has had its side blind stuck on 147 Cannung Town Station. At least its right 50% of the time

Are the blinds on the 227 Citaros locked? I have only ever seen the blind change to 61 on one and they always have 227 showing when they are out of service. If they are locked, why would they do this? Sone are locked I think but there are definitely some that aren't

I think the mobitec has been set up slightly differently

I think the mobitec has been set up slightly differently Citaros use a different blind setup made by a different German company called Hanover, not Mobitec. To change the blinds, you select the route number and then type in the destination code. There will be a list in the cab somewhere of all the destination codes.

Would the code not be something like 22701 or 6102 First part:route number second:destination dest1=01 dest2=02 etc Can someone confirm this

That’s why they have the sheet in the cab. To prevent them being used on the 61 though, the route codes aren’t listed on it. I will ask if it is 61***. I do remember it being 01/02/03 etc for different dests

If you want to select 61 for instance, you type in the 61 route number, then the desired destination from the list.
