Something along the lines of the two pics posted below - folk would know in both instances that it's going to Newbiggin, but can see for the length of the route that it's terminating at either Moor Estate or Cresswell Arms (thinking more on dual depth displays, such as those in the StreetDecks, so the via points can still be shown below).

Probably be a bit too much information overload and the LED Screens don't display smaller text too well imo.

Wish the better LED screens would become more popular as they'd be perfect for stuff like that but they're supposedly rather expensive - https://www.flickr.com/photos/snakeydave/29960464898. That's an example of a London bus using one and it's as clear as the old roller blinds (which I prefer personally). Could easily do Newcastle then with the Eldon Square to the right on those ones tbh in smaller maybe in caps with space underneath for via points etc aswell if needed.
