The 349 now reads “Ponders End, Bus Garage”. Bit weird considering the garage is known as Enfield and the 47 still has Catford Bus Garage when it got its new blinds. But buses terminating at TL from the south display Bellingham as they don't go to Catford just as the 349 doesn't go to Enfield. The blinds on routes terminating at TL show Bellingham/CATFORD BUS GARAGE

The vast majority of the 314’s E200’s also have dayglo blinds. Don’t ask me what’s going on with the refurbs for that fleet too...the refurbs started in late 2017 and there are still quite a few of its batch outstanding I'm pretty certain they've all been done, just that they got differing paint job styles. Inside the 12 plates and 36374 are all refurbished. Only exceptions are 36346/36347 which were transferred in for the frequency increase last year. A lot of TB's E200 still have dayglo blinds, primarily for the 314, but as 246 was still on the old blinds it meant that the buses didn't need to be re-blinded when the 246 returned to TB a few months ago, handy that!

Was not only pleased to see VWH1413 return to service at AC after 8 months out of an VOR, but has also had its yellow blinds removed with the white standard ones attached. Other LK62 G2 regs still have the yellow blinds attached after their refurbishment.

Other LK62 G2 regs still have the yellow blinds attached after their refurbishment. VWH1411 is also back in service, retaining white blinds. Not as much a surprise as on VWH1413. IIRC, this one already had them swapped an year or so back.

When the 161s converted to Stagecoach operation in 2018, they replaced the destination "Chislehurst/War Memorial" to just "Chislehurst", as seen on the 61. Do you know why this is? Also, when the buses on the 180 received white blinds in 2018-ish, they replaced "Belvedere/Industrial Area" with "Belvedere/Industrial Estate". Weird! Apparently, some of the double-deckers' green blinds, such as the ALX400, if we go back to around 2005 (that's before I was born, so I can't remember ANY of this) had the destinations written in all-caps. I just associate green blinds with old photos from the 2000s and early 2010s now.

The SE47-54 batch of SE's on the 170 still have dayglo blinds A few of the 493's SE's still have dayglo blinds Let's not forget the B11 and 244 while we're at it! Also, what do you mean by "dayglo blinds"?

Saw them recently on the 472 at North Greenwich Station,on the 177 in Greenwich, and on the 422 in both locations, as well as Blackheath Standard. 19748 (or whichever one's numberplate is LX11 BCF) has also had its numberplate position changed, to match the newer ones originally for the 54.

The logo of East Thames just looked cheap, looking at some pictures of Woolwich before the 2009-2011 redevelopment in Woolwich town centre. Also, the curves just looked awkward. And it just looks strange to see a bus stop right outside the Equitable House.
