Title: Roller Blind Desto's we will never see
Post by: Sir Pompously on February 08, 2011, 11:19:15 PM
Seeing as though I am now on 5 weeks of holidays (Any excuse, really), I thought I would make some destinations (Atleast it's not a graph) that we will never see on our Roller Blind Equipped 100.2's. I say we will never see these, as ACTION are disposing of the older .2's there is no real need to update the current roller blind.

Lonely Fairbairn, usually substituted with Special. A Driver caught me out the other day, he was heading to the City and had not changed his desto over to reflect this. He just left it on Special, so naturally I don't hail it as every other driver changes it to City (Special inbound, sure, but not on the outbound). Following bus (About 1 minute later)...... Fairbairn Park  :mono:

Downtowner. A Concept we will probably never see again. Tried using Maroon for the DOWNTOWNER part but it came out a little darker than I hoped.

They are quite good there Todd, it's a shame that they haven't produced a roll since 1994 (the alphabetical ones dont count because they are total shit with more destos you never use than there are useful ones)

At least you still see it unlike the flip-dot and LED destos when they have a bad day!

Good idea, it would be great to see them, but with a few adjustments;
- Molonglo Valley Express
- Green line destos to reflect Green Line destinations, or changed to Green Line (as pointed out to me by another forum user)

But, nonetheless, a great concept that should be looked into by ACTION if roller destos will be with part of the fleet in the long run.
