That 'east on Fairway to go up Weber towards downtown' bit is also known as the 7B on a southbound sign. They've repurposed it in the opposite direction.
And if all of that is too much, well, that's the route 7 alphabet soup for you.
The sign on the stop should always match the sign on the bus.
In any case, the route 7 letters are one-way: there is no such thing as a southbound bus labelled 7C, for example. The 7C goes to Conestoga mall, then turns around and is labelled either just plain 7 if it is terminating at Charles St. terminal, or one of the Fairview-bound letters otherwise. Whether a southbound bus on King at Weber is “really” a 7C is a question of interest only to those who actually run the system and should not be evident to riders, who care only where the bus is going, not where it is coming from. There is a reason why some normal programming languages have a “goto” command but no (normal) languages have a “come from” command.
