Setting the screens
Setting destinations used to be a hazardous job - on the old buses one (usually the conductor) had to risk limb by turning heavy handles to find the right screen, nowadays its yet another 'automated' task that can on occasions cause problems!
Here in Edinburgh's Princes Street Lothian Country Gemini 20947 waits while its destination is set - those around the bus will find out '113 Pencaitland' will be the result rather than a '10 to Brunstane' even though the bus will pass that suburb! The bus is in a very smart green and cream livery which I believe suits it better than that of the East Coast version. The bus waits at a very useful bus stop directly opposite the steps and escalator to Waverley Station.
