Certainly wasn't implying anything! I was giving my opinion that it "makes very little sense" to use an abbreviation unnecessarily on a destination display. The only 'correct' way of making a destination is to include all relevant information to suit the bus operator's commercial needs - the styling is irrelevant. If Arriva thinks that abbreviating locations served on the route of a service meets their commercial needs, so be it.
I was fairly explicit in my previous response to Lee - as you have such an avid interest in the destination displays of other operators, I thought you'd like to look closer to home at Arriva's destination displays (which certainly aren't perfect!)
