Midland Red West: Mercedes-Benz 0.814 Vario - Miscellaneous Information

Destination Blinds

Below is a reconstruction of the destination blind fitted to all Mercedes-Benz 0.814 Vario minibuses operating at Worcester depot from new in August 1998 until the last withdrawals from that depot in 2006.  This destination blind has also been used on all Dennis Dart buses operating from that depot, and later the twin-door Dennis Lance buses acquired from First Bristol in August 2003.

Destinations are shown in the correct order, with the type face and layout being a fair approximation.  Click on and or your mouse wheel if you have one to the “wind” the destination display.  The Mercedes 0.814 Varios are also fitted with 3-digit Hanover digital number displays which I have added for your amusement.  To change the route number, type the number in the box and click "Set"
