Over the coming weeks and months, our Transport on Trend series will bring you bang up to date with what’s hot – and what’s not – in the transport world. You might love some of it – you’ll probably hate lots of it. Either way, we’d love you to join in the fun! Drop us a tweet with your transport trends and we’ll try to feature as many as possible!
In the first of our new Transport on Trend posts, we’re taking a look at some of the latest and more ‘colourful’ ways of displaying the most humble of transportation information – destination displays!

Strangely, the blue number would blink and flash slowly in addition to being a different colour....quirky!

And finally…not exactly LEDs, but new TfL standards mean that London buses are ditching their Day-Glo displays and returning to their traditional white. We can’t help thinking that this has got something to do with those new Borismasters…
