I just asked big'un if he could tell me where this bus was going, via what route and he couldn't. It would be less of an issue for those who are partially sighted and more of an issue for people with learning difficulties or elderly people who are easily confused and would be just plain confusing for anyone who doesn't know the area and, say, wanted to get to Kidsgrove. Does it go straight to Kidsgrove, or does it go to Kidsgrove via all those other places?

I'm glad you agree it's a mess, indicative of First Potteries as a whole. I could bore you all day with my gripes, though it's probably not appropriate on a North East buses forum. As a quick aside, the vehicles allocated to this route carry route branding, though due to many revisions the route no longer serves ANY of the places listed on the branding. Should the potential disabled or elderly passenger be baffled by the destination display son they look at the branding to be sure the bus was going to, say, the train station, they would be entirely lost and very stressed! 

The point here is, if regulations apply to destination displays; should they apply to route branding if it applies to geographical locations. It could be equally confusing to the elderly or those with learning difficulties.
