A trio of buses parked up on a Saturday lunchtime. From left to right they are an Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 for the 263 route, a Transbus Trident with Transbus President body for the 217 and an Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 for the 84 route. The latter has a dot matrix route display and is thus prohibited from Transport for London routes, on which standard destination blinds are a requirement. As Potters Bar driver Peter Horrex explained - 'These DEL buses do have dot matrix blinds but the 84 route is not a TFL route, it's a commercial operation by Metroline, with support from Hertfordshire County Council and support from TFL over the Barnet to Potters Bar section, therefore it is not part of the TFL network and as such is not a tendered / contract service and is not subject to TFL's rules, which do indeed prohibit dot matrix destination blinds.'
