Dennis Trident, Plaxton President number 690 (SN04 AED) is seen in Princes Street bound for Granton on a Service 19 and note the brightly lit LED screen destination windows.
Passengers are starting to notice a new and sharper destination screen display on some of Lothian's buses. Some of the oldest double deckers in the 650 public service fleet are being fitted with a new LED digital typeface, by McKenna, which appear more bright and clearer, both in the daylight and in the dark.
It's always been the custom for Lothian's buses to be fitted with roller blinds, and in recent years these operate mechanically through a programmer within the cab. Only Lothian and London maintain this tradition with most other companies in Britain now using digital LED screens.
Lothian, and its predecessor names ECT and LRT, has always experimented with new types of screen - the fonts, sizes and type-set lettering and this measure, being introduced on the Dennis Trident double deckers, will make clearer the location and service number detail, especially for the visually impaired.
With the Tridents being the oldest buses in the fleet the blinds were becoming dirty and sometimes a little difficult to identify. The brighter LED ident is more efficient, more quick in changing at termini and where intermediate changes are required. Roller blinds on the older buses very often become faulty, slip or jam and thus creating confusion for passengers.

SanDisk Sansa Clip Mini Review
In black is my new toy. It's the SanDisk Sansa Clip Mp3 player. It's kind of a cross between an iPod Nano and a Shuffle. It's more like a shuffle due to it's limited screen and minuscule size and I really like it. All the features (and more) of a shuffle with a screen so you know what's playing and can find the song you want.
It comes in 1,2,4,and 8GB flavors in an assortment of colors. I got the 2GB one for cheap ($20) on the deal a day site, sellout.woot.com. It was my first time 'wooting' and it shipped from nearby and came really fast. Ordered last Thursday, got a shipping email this morning with an estimate of delivery on the 23rd (Saturday) and was surprised to see it in the mailbox this afternoon, delivered by USPS. Woot doesn't have the greatest shipping time (most ship within 5 business days), but props to them for keeping their promise and getting it to me within 5 total.
As the title says, smaller is better sometimes. I have been looking for a small, portable throw-around mp3 player and this fits the bill perfectly. It is better than the shuffle in all aspects except the size, but with a beautiful screen as this one, I can certainly live with. To top it off, it can do what no other iPod can do, listen to FM radio, record from the radio, or even record voice notes and audio with its built-in microphone. Oh yeah, and then there's the price!
Surprisingly, as small as this guy is (was totally blown away at how empty the small box it came in was because it is so small), it has some incredible sound quality. One of the benefits of it not being an Apple product, is not having to use iTunes to sync my library (it's quite a big library which is already fully synced with the 60gb iPod Video). I can just drag and drop just about any song I want to the player like a USB drive. It can play your standard MP3 (including DRM ones from Napster and online music subscriptions), WMA, Audible books, OGGs, and FLACs. The last file format is the one that caught my attention. Out of the box, it can play lossless music. Lossless music (FLACs) is the de facto music format for audiophiles. It is encoded in such a way (a high bitrate) that none of the quality is lost. When MP3s are encoded, the music is compressed and music is essentially lost. With FLACs, none of this happens, you hear the original music as intended by the artist. This is one of the reasons I don't buy my songs online, it's lossy (read: junk). Of course, not everyone can tell the difference between lossless and lossy music. Try this test to see if you can tell the difference between lossy and very lossy music. Typically lossless music is encoded at 800 kbps (kilo bits per second) or higher while the maximum MP3s are encoded at are 320 KB/Sec. Anyways, getting back to the player, it can play lossless music and it can do it well. I have been listening to it with my Shure E2C earbuds all night and am enjoying every second of it. Compared with my iPod, it has a much fuller richer sounding quality to it. Certainly, not all mp3 players are made alike.
Moving on to the player itself, it's very small and quite light. It's made of shiny black plastic that seems sturdy (doesn't flex) but a bit cheap (but it makes it light and keeps it affordable). For navigation, it has a layout similar to the ipod. Instead of a scroll wheel, it has clickable directional buttons and a home button. In a song, the top button is the play/pause button. I keep wanting to press this to go to the menu (like the ipod), but that button is the bottom button (direct opposite from Apple's design). The left and right are for the previous and next song. One thing that is really neat is pressing the home button takes you to the main menu where you can select from music, radio, voice recording, and settings. Press it again and it instantly takes you to the "now plaing" song. I wish the iPod had a button like that instead of navigating all the way back to the begining main menu. On the left hand side is mini-usb jack and the sliding on/off/hold button. On the right, is the volume button (a simple up or down clicker) under the 3.5mm headphone hack. On the back is the removable clip which doesn't seem too strong, but has clipped and stayed clipped everywhere I've attached it (in the car, shirt, pockets, etc...).
The screen is a 2 color (blue and gold/yellow) 4 line OLED screen. It's a brilliantly bright crips display that can do many display many different (limited) graphics, words, and characters. It's dimmable if it's too bright or can be raised if it needs to be brighter in the sunlight. Unfortunately the little navigation wheel is not dimmable, but it's not blinding.
Conclusion
Great, you're still with me! Overall, after using it for less than 24 hours, it's a phenomenal product and I'm glad I bought it. Does exactly what it says it will do and does it well. If you're looking for an inexpensive, good sounding, small mp3 player, look no further. I'd highly recommend it. It also goes extremely well with a nice pair of headphones. I have not run into any bugs, but I have updated the firmware to the latest version and SanDisk seems to have good support. There are two forums in particular which have a large community for the Clip. One is AnythingButIpod and the official Sansa forum. I will still continue to use my big iPod but more for the longer trips and for watching movies and videos. The clip, however, is perfect for grab and go, daily use.
Bottom Line
What I liked:
Incredible Sound quality
Small and light
Inexpensive
Easy to Use
What I didn't like (could be improved):
Clip could be a bit stronger and flatter
Expandable memory via a MicroSD slot would just be over-the-top incredible
If I haven't written enough, there's another excellent review at ABI.

Dennis Trident, Plaxton President number 680 ( SN04 ACX) works slightly unusually on a Service 49, seen at Elm Row. Note the LED digital screen with service number and enlarged destination. These are made by McKenna and are being rolled out on many of Lothian's Trident buses. The intermediate screen is being left as before and appears slightly insignificant in comparison.
Looking back at 2013 it was yet another fantastic year for Lothian Buses and its customers with many new initiatives being introduced:
The new Family DAYticket is now a big success with families experiencing great value travel - the initial idea was so popular it was extended from operating only on Sundays to seven days a week.
2013 also saw an expanded NightBus service in July, with Ridacard customers gaining free NightBus travel - this is now hugely popular!
Lothian's chief charity was extended to the introduction of a Pink Bus in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer and every autumn Lothian staff dress for one day in pink, raising thousands of pounds for the charity.
Ten new state-of-the-art Hybrid single deckers were introduced in April of 2013 amidst a blaze of publicity in Edinburgh with management staff from Volvo making a personal visit. These buses have proved to be fantastic in performance and twenty more are on order in 2014.
More new stock was introduced to diminish the use of the oldest, less eco-green friendly vehicles and, owing to popular demand, the rural East Lothian Buses service was extended.
The best ever Doors Open Day in September had nearly 4000 visitors to see an exhibition of everything that Lothian excels in - everyone and everything in prize form.
Transport Convenor for the City of Edinburgh's Council said in April 2013:"Lothian Buses is not only the best bus company in Britain, but the best bus company in the World"'
We have much to look forward to in 2014.
In the winter twilight hour the newly applied LED digital front screens on some of Lothian's Dennis Tridents can be seen to good effect here at Leopold Place on the edge of London Road.
During the day the brightly lit service number (smaller than the usual roller blinds) and principal destination are highly modulated in brightness, but the intermediate screen remains on rollers, presumably requiring the need for two systems within the cab area. The difference between the intermediate and service / destination screens is noticeable in daylight hours but, as can be seen here, in darker hours everything appears clear and well articulated - especially for the visually impaired.
With older vehicles, like these two, the roller blind screens often become dirty and faded, and are prone to jam or slip on to the wrong detail, thus creating some confusion for passengers. This is one of the reasons this experiment is being tried out on around 30 of our older vehicles in public service.
Dennis Trident, Plaxton President numbers 676 (SN04 ABZ) and 679 (SN04 ACV) are seen working on Services 26 and 19 respectively.

Here is a luxury shopping mall in Beijing called "The Place". Here you can see a massive sky LED screen up above. If I remember it correctly, this is the largest LED screen in Asia, and the area of such screen is approx. 7500 sqm. It would probably be the world's largest LED screen that we have at this day.
