It'd be great if drivers could give an announcement over the PA system
- if available - before a diversion occurs. I've found myself on number
12's going south the two past weekends which have had a short diversion
over Lambeth Bridge instead of Waterloo Bridge (closed for roadworks
southbound only). A wave of confusion sweeps across the bus when this
happens (it's interesting to watch people's faces!) and I find myself
explaining to nearby fellow passengers that it's just a diversion. I
guess the fact they might be mildly intoxicated doesn't necessarily help!

I was on an N50 a few weeks ago when Prince Regent Lane was closed. The
driver did this very thing, even coming upstairs to ensure that
everybody knew he wasn't going down PRL.

And then he dropped us at the stop at the end of the road - very nice
man!
