At West Hampstead Thameslink I saw that there's one LED platform departure board that now has white text instead of yellow. It looked very bright.
What's more, it appeared to be exactly the same as the others - so presumably it's just a straight forward swap of the LED panels? That got me thinking that it might be part of a plan to retrofit these to other screens in due course?
I do think these are better than yellow and hope to see them used on more buses too. Especially replacing the older type LED panels where the LEDs faded long before their time (due to crappy components) and so you can barely read the text/numbers unless it's dark.
