My experience on the 123 was that it wasn't actually every stop; it
was every stop that was previously deemed to be a compulsory stop
before they all became request stops, ie the white stops.
When the distinction is officially done away with and stops are
presumably all the same colour, I wonder which ones they will choose
to announce?
My experience out in the sticks (routes K3 and 281 now have a few
equipped vehicles) is that it's every stop. Of course out in the sticks
even request stops are fairly well separated so adding "next stop 400
metres/yards" would be a useful enhancement.
