Lothian have routes like this themselves, where lower specification buses are allocated. Comparing apples with pears really!

Until just recently, Lothian were running 57/08-plate buses on frontline work which had no bells and whistles. The Versa used on the 28 were of an equal/higher specification (as the Lothian buses didn’t have Wi-Fi).

I love Edinburgh and very regularly visit - after a few times you can see it’s not as great as it’s made out to be, or how it feels once you’ve used a few buses in and out of Princes Street.

to be fair  i stayed a cameron toll which is on a busy route into the centre, its near the new hospital i think and has a number of different services serving the route. . but once again i have to say i traveled almost a dozen time's over the 3 days and all the buses were great. Bus stops also had real time information ( which they've had for years)  and also the buses were very clean. only let down was that the bus stop to get on and the one to get off were both " out of use" due to covid so had to walk quite a distance to a bus stop with no shelter but i blame wee jimmy for that.

Getting back to the Diversion sing on screen though i can imagine it being confusing if there were no information to go with it but on all the buses i travel on there was so it made perfect sense to me  and the " none bus enthusiast Mrs" who was with me so it obviously works !
