Ive only noticed Y796 XNW with new LED blinds and was wondering if there is plans to replace more of the Dot matrix blinds with some striders departing for the scrapheap.

A Royale has one because at first I thought it was one of the Holmfirth Connection that might have been on loan to Calderline but it said 33 on so it wasn't.

I think the original batch of Geminis should be fitted with them, with the flip dot indicators reused on older vehicles. This original batch look much older due to the lack of LED destinations in my opinion

I agree, the 04 batch Geminis do look much older due to the dot matrix boards, LED boards would improve them a lot.

The alx400s should & some of the royales should have them fitted first, although i do agree with you on the Gemini front.

I think the majority of the Royales allocated to the 33/33A routes have the Orange LED displays.

There must be very few vehicles left with FWY that still have traditional destination blinds, I'm not aware of any now in Leeds?

Some of the J Plate Olymipans still have roller blinds, and the Mercedes Benz Minibus has one, if you class it as a 'proper' bus!

The J reg Olympians were withdrawn a few weeks ago
