In essence, they've been fiddling around with the destination displays. Again.
This time it seems to be to make the route-varying letter smaller (see here: https://flic.kr/p/2kw3c9k). I've seen a couple of other photos this evening of a couple of 1As of which both had the smaller number so they must be seriously considering rolling this out.
What's the theory behind this one? Is there a small glimmer of evidence that suggests that passengers may find it easier to read the *full* route number when displayed in this way?
This is just absolutely taking the piss now. So pointless. Just leave them!!
They need to just change them back to the way they were. I'll never shut up about it. Number on the nearside with the older format whereby the bolder font was used. This is getting out of hand now. The constant fiddling with this format is so boring to see. If it's not broken, don't fix it — and it certainly wasn't broken to begin with. Honestly.
