I can't provide much of an argument into this debate as to what should be shown as the terminus point as I don't know the route but I will say that I imagine much of the custom on the 23 route will be elderly connecsion pass holders and I imagine many of them will use the route a fair bit so they will likely to know the route or at least know the section of the route they will use. They may be used to the display of Barley Mow Estate but I imagine if they see a 23 with these new displays I imagine they would stop the bus and ask the driver if they are going to wherever and from what I can see the timetable hasn't changed so I imagine they would still get to their stops at the times they did before the change of operators so I think many will still think it is going to the same locations as it did before at the same times. The new displays may possibly cause confusion to some at first but they should get used to these displays after a week or so I imagine.
I kinda agree on the two operators having two different terminus points on their destinations when they both terminate at the same place and I feel both should be the same.
At least the JH Coaches display is easier to read than the display on the GCT Fiat Bluebird which is in a thin text and would be difficult to read from a distance.
If we think the 23 passengers are confused about the destinations how are they going to react to a gold bus (Primo) turning up on their route.
