Destination Blinds
Few DMUs did not carry destination blinds, and they have become quite collectable.
There have been countless variations in these over the years, due to changing services, and in particular due to lines and stations closing.
For many years the blinds were white text on a black background. In later years black text on white and white text on blue could be found.
These pages contain sample listings of the blinds carried.
