Excel with LEDs
Looks like Safeguard intend to keep their Excels for a while longer, as all three - as well as the Mini Pointer Dart - have been retrofitted with LED destination displays.
Here's X307 CBT showing off its new blinds while heading up Egerton Road on the 4.
Perhaps more significantly, this move means that the only buses which now run into Guildford with old roller blinds were Sunray's - but as they're now using Edward Thomas Volvo B10Ms which don't have blinds, then we could well have seen the last manual blinds in Guildford.
I'm not including Carlone's breadvan M192 TMG, as it might have roller blinds, but it doesn't have any destinations on it...
