Blind displays - BeachBoy99 - 04 Oct 2019

Hi everyone.


So for those who are aware, I'm working on bus drawings based on GNE liveries. Within these, I show the routes on all three blinds (front, rear and side). One problem I'm facing with a few is that the via points displayed on the front blind don't fit on the rear as the rear blinds are shorter.


Example is below – the drawing I'm focusing on is Loop 93.

Destination: Gateshead loop

Via points: VIA Low Fell then Heworth


Front display: [Image: CLGZQOM.png]


Rear display: [Image: hCSltor.png]


Obviously from the references here, the via points don't fit on the rear display. I was under the impression that the via points would be the same on both displays, but what would the solution be here? I had exactly the same problem yesterday trying to produce the display for service 35 to Low Moorsley, for which at one point the blind displays VIA Sunderland & Houghton and therefore also doesn't fit on the rear.


Any solutions? Anyone have any good quality photos of these? Probably asking for too much here...


Thanks Smile

So I clicked the urls in your post and got the following images. Appreciate I'm not the most tech savvy when it comes to posting urls, but I'd go for a dowel joint and McLeans.

Wtf? :') They shouldn't be links either. They should be attached photos?

This is why I hate trying to attach photos into forums. Absolutely shit.

It's probably because you're on mobile also. I'm using desktop.

So has anyone got any solutions to the problem rather than saying they can see the attached photos? -.-


RE: Blind displays - deanmachine - 05 Oct 2019

I know the 35 just says “via Sunderland” on the rear rather than both via points.
