E-branding + Bus branding short history

Imperfect representation of 52 and N52 once upon a time

A quick idea that popped into my head when I thought of the lack of displays on the offside of buses (except on RV1's hydrogen Citaros) which are found often but not commonly in mainland Europe.

How about combining the E-ink displays used in Waterloo Bridge bus stop which don't require maintenance of changing the stop timetables (in this case, route branding) with the problem of route branding whereby only one [set] of route[s] is advertised?

Electronic-branding, in the form of e-ink route branding.

Example: A 155 bus goes on 118. Displays 118 as usual. The branding changes into 118.

See where I'm going with this?

All this because I dwelled too long on 322's blindset at Battersea (QB) confined only to 322 and me staring at 315s a bit too intently.

261's express Tube/Elizabeth Line feeder

Yay! 100th uploaded post!

The 261 getting an additional route in the form of X239 which runs parallel from Grove Park to Lee, then via 202 to Blackheath and runs fast to Canary Wharf connecting with the DLR Jubilee and Elizabeth lines.

It didn't take me long to think about how X239 is truly a tube feeder, which also doubles as extra capacity for 261 which will be very great for it.

The style of express works well, long-past the tried-and-true method on X53 X68 and X72 of which only one remains (since a tube line didn't kill it), born from 68's overcrowding itself. All three serving areas with no rail (Thamesmead or Upper Norwood or Thamesmead).

I've already done an Expressa and Expressa 2 before so this is a defacto Expressa 3.

In short: Replicating X239 with other tube lines, where possible adding capacity to routes that need it.
