Was there some standardisation process recently, since all the fonts are now identical on LED signs (less Optare's)?
Is there any explanation to why the omnicity had only one destination point?
Thanks.
Percy Main used to have several 'short terminating' displays with one single terminal point, showing no via points. The logic was probably to make it clearer that the bus wasn't going as far as its normal daytime service.
Destination displays are now managed centrally at Head Office rather than locally at depots. That allows for standardisation for every single destination display used across the company. The 'standard' is with via points, hence why 99% of displays have via points.
That particular display now more aptly has a terminal point of 'Percy Main':
