the problem is the DLR displays don't have enough space for all the destinations. Adding a route number would makes things worse and not be large enough to be clearly seen.

crusty54 - one could make a start with numbering the routes on the map, tho' norbitonflyer - I've often wondered how the tram routes escaped LT's passion for order - perhaps the survival of TE Thomas as the relevant MD explains it? It's a very common thing in ex-Commie countries, however - when I was in Tallinn, they had route 1 buses, trams and trolleybuses all with quite different routeings. The prize for stupid - as in really stupid - duplicate numbering probably goes to the Basingstoke of c2000, which managed to have three routes 1, a Premier route and a First route (all different operators, of course). [Then there was the first generation of Athens tramways which managed to have two routes 3 (as I recall), going to the same outer termini but by quite different routes; their only distinguishing feature was different electrical control equipment - presumably the punters checked the equipment cabinets on boarding...]

Mod Comment. The last few posts have been quite interesting, although we are not a tram, bus or trolleybus forum, history is fascinating. A seperate thread has been created to continue the discussion
Anyway, back to the main topic
Thanks
