Does anyone have any information or insight into when the mooted
audio "next stop" information might be introduced to buses?

Audio announcements are very annoying.

True, but I'd rather be told "Next Stop: Streatham Station" than "Bus
stopping at next bus-stop, please stand well clear of doors", which is
what one is told with monotonous regularity every 2 minutes or
thereabouts.....

On some routes it is more like: "Bus stopping at next bus stop, please stand
wahl-cleah of closing doahs" (in a mildly Sloaney/Diana (God rest her)
voice).....bleep, bleep, bleep.

Aaarrrggghh!!!
