Not in London then where you get ****s ringing the bell 0.1sec after
the bus has left the previous stop.

Better than ringing it too late IMO. Or ringing it when someone else
has already done it

If someone rings it immediately after departure from the previous stop, I
can see the logic in ringing it again on approach to the stop, in case the
driver has forgotten in the meantime.

Except most modern buses have a light on the dash that remains on till
the doors open again.

On one of the bus types that isn't around here [TM] any more, the
time/next stop display didn't always update the next stop until up to
c.50yds after leaving, wiping out any indications resulting from
premature campanology.
