Default Talking Buses

(CJG Now Thankfully Living In The North) wrote in message . com...

I was on one bus. Im not sure of the number. But was travelling from
Liverpool Street via City to Picadilly area and they have a screen
showing news and a program about underwater life. Surely this could be
used to display the next stop before you get there?


Service RV1 (Tower Gateway to Covent Garden via Southwark) displays
illustrated details of the next stop including transport interchanges
and tourist attractions on several LCD panels throughout the bus,
albeit in a silent fashion.

I've no idea how it works, but it does seem to do the job very well.
