Don't know if this is banditry or not, but DW266 on the 60 had its rear blind stuck on the N133. TC don't operate the N133 anymore, so i wonder why these DW's, which transferred after the N133 transferred to N, have blinds for it Old blinds? No, they're White Blinds, however, they may have been delivered before the DW's got transferred

Since this is a thread for observations of sorts, perhaps it would be better if this was in the general discussion board so that the Turns & Obs thread, LVF thread and this are all in the same place.

The WOB blinds would have to be ordered beforehand so the vehicle can be quickly thrown out into service. 'eastlondon' is also right when he mentions that garages usually have other routes from other garages on their blinds to aid flexibility.

Most VLAs display Clapham Common in the front for 417, and 417 via Clapham Common, I believe the WOB ones display the same as the others too. IIRC the Voiths display 417 via Streatham Hill

IIRC the Voiths display 417 via Streatham Hill That's because there was a mooted extension for the 417 to Clapham Junction years back but sadly for whatever reason, it was never implemented. It would of greatly helped the 35 & 37 which are rammed along that section.

I have seen 3 WVL's today in Kingston accidentally blinded N85 behind. A 111 this morning also accidentally blinded for the N97 to Earls Court. A few days ago PVL203 was blinded halfway on the 87 and the other half N11.

The front blinds for PVL203 can hardly be set all the way showing only the 87 without also showing either the N11 or 639.

OC1 was out on 411 today missing its rear blind. In fact a lot of the OVs and MCLs from QL also have missing blinds.

Not sure if this classes as banditry but LDP204 passed me on the 130 earlier, blinded for "Thornton Heath P d" where half of the word pond was covered by a piece of paper.
