Worcester depot destination blinds

1998–2006

Below is a reconstruction of the destination blind fitted to all Mercedes-Benz O.814 Vario minibuses operating at Worcester (Padmore Street) depot from new in August 1998 until the last withdrawals from that depot in 2006. This destination blind was also been used on many Dennis Dart buses operating from that depot, and later the twin-door Dennis Lance SLF buses acquired from First Bristol Buses Limited from August 2003.

Destinations are shown in the correct order, with the type face and layout being a fair approximation. The Mercedes-Benz O.814 Vario minibuses were also fitted with Hanover R015 20x14-4 flip-dot displays, mounted at the front, nearside and rear, to show route numbers. I have also added one of these for your amusement. To change the route number type the number in the input box and click “Set”
