Im sure they have them in other places.
But in Yorkshire some of Arriva's buses announce the name of the next
stop in an audio annoucement and a visual supply. I think this is such
a good idea. Especially if travelling to somewhere your not sure where
your go. But surely in London with the high number of visitors who may
know where they are going but not sure when they get there. Surely
with all the brand new buses being introduced no-one thought to
introduce that?
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?

More and more buses in London have recorded announcements, unfortunately.

Is it just me or do other people find "Bus stopping at next bus stop, stand
wall cleah of doahs" intensely bloody irritating?

Oh, you mean the "bah-stah-pin-gat-neks-bah-stap
plee-stan-wew-clee-rev-dawz" one?

Yes, it's bloody annoying (345 route).

Amazed nobody has mentioned this one before!

Absolute nightmare, total noise pollution. I have to put the old headphones
on to drown out the irritating Sloane. Aaarrrggghhh!!! (

If she said which stop it was, I would be more than happy. I live here,
but even I occasionally take buses to places I don't know.
