Personalised Blinds

Why not personalise your bus hire with your own words or messages in the route and destination displays?

The following apertures are available:

We can put whatever you want on the blinds pretty much, usual is London Transport style letters in white out of a black background, but we can use coloured letters and backgrounds. Logos and fonts we can use if provided in a format that doesn’t pixelate when blown up. (Copywrited logos and fonts must come with permissions to use.)   All displays are £50 per panel, which includes design, typesetting, printing and fitting.

Corporate Hires – put your company name, logo and event on the displays.

Weddings: Names of the happy couple are popular, along with dates and locations, such as a church name, “Wedding Special” or “Just Married”, we can add wedding bells or champagne glasses to the display if space permits. Tell us roughly what you want in how many panels and we will prepare the artwork to achieve the best look in the spaces available. Remember to get wedding pictures in front of the special blinds. Don’t forget the blind dsplay above the platform, the happy couple on the platform with the blind just above is a favourite for wedding photographers.

Birthdays –  How about their name …..and their age (if you dare!)

Costs are £50 per panel and if you would like to keep them afterwards please state at time of booking and mention it to conductor at the end of the hire.  Displays on single deck buses and the side and rear of double deck buses are only accessible if there is a ladder available at the end of the hire, otherwise upon request we will take them out back at our garage and mail to you after the hire.

Tell us what you want, we can usually find a way to make it work, look good and traditional.

These panels are made specially to your requirement and once ordered cannot be cancelled. They are prepared as authentic as possible using the same font and layout that London Transport prepared them in years ago, unless you have specified otherwise.
