This would 100% change my mind about LEDs, but it should be programmed to change when that point is passed like how the Circle line announcements operate. The display boxes are not big enough to display this amount of information with the destination and route number large enough to be legal. Scrolling information will not be accepted by TfL. Why won't TFL allow scrolling information?

Why won't TFL allow scrolling information? Something to do with people with bad eyes. Yet iBus inside the bus and at bus stops is ‘scrolling information’.

I'll be honest I prefer paper blinds. They seem to be easier to read especially during the day when LEDs can be quite unclear (from personal experience) If I was talking outside of London, I'd probably say LEDs because their LEDs tend to be orange and far easier to read than the white ones. If TFL did theirs like Metroline did the 84s, I think I'd side more with the LEDs than traditional roller blinds. www.flickr.com/photos/192991584@N06/51597569239/

Pointless, you are just asking a small subset of enthusiasts. Enthusiasts are generally traditionalists. The larger population, will not care and will want the cheapest option. as a non traditionalist I'm all for future tech

Although the ibus screens have scrolling text, they also have audio announcements that will assist those with visual impairments

Long destinations like "174 to Harold Hill, Dagnam Park Square" and too long to fit in the screen so will need to scroll. Maybe the next generation of iBus screens like the ones in the 63 will avoid the need for this

Insufficient contrast.

I think some of the RATP displays have been adjusted and now look better.

Buses move and scrolling information is difficult to follow particularly when hidden by other buses. London has got by without intermediate information on the bus exterior for many years now. Bus stop information with route diagrams showing intermediates is better than many parts of the country.

Again, the LED blinds that they should use don’t scroll.

So far current LED blinds rolled out are leading (hope they start working!) but only one vote short compared to the paper blinds. If all LED blinds combined (including the non-fancy displays used outside of London) are included then all LED blinds are leading by 9 points. Please vote and explain your reasoning!!!

We got by without mobile devices fir many years.
