There are the green ones (which are shit and you cant see)
The orange ones
The oranges ones with coloured numbers
Are the coloured numbers just programmed into the display as sorts, or does it have to be a certain type of display.
Also what displays do GNE currently use.
Any finally completly off topic, I think i read something about the displays on the back of the new Cobalt vechiles, being wrong, was this because they are suppoed to have the complete display rather than just the number (or have i just made that up)
I Noticed the 56 deckers just have the numbers, which is all you need really. Never seen the point in having a destination of a bus on the back ....
the only time you might see it is when its pulling away or your running for it.
Currently GNE use flipdot and LED. Flipdot (yellow dots) were the first blinds, but now GNE buy LED.
The LED displays are either all amber or amber with a colour panel for the route number. They are a different blind compared to a normal amber one as they have a panel of tri-colour LED's.
Answered your own question on the last one, if you are running for a bus you want to know where it is going
