Back in the good old days of roller blinds being common place I used to enjoy watching the driver scroll through them at termini and spotting "odd" destinations.
There were a few that companies speculatively put on blinds - either in the hope of winning tendered work or as "mind games" against rival/ local operators.
For example, LRT (Lothian Buses, as now) used to have places like Peebles on their blinds - I don't know whether this was in the hope of winning Borders area tenders or to "scare" Lowland Scottish.
Are there any other examples? (other than Dunstable on Thameslink 319s?)
(thread inspired by the mention on another thread that FifeFirst put various Fife destinations on their blinds during the "bus war" with Stagecoach's Fife Scottish operations)
