All these electronic devices - even the intrusive ones "announcing"
each and every stop. Why are they necessary? On the rare occasion a
passenger need to be told of a particular alighting point, why can't
they tell the driver and he then announces it over the NEVER-USED P.A.
system?


Hear hear!

And why, as happens far too frequently on route 38, does the
announcement say "the destination of this bus has changed" without
continuing "it will now terminate at ..."?


That winds me up often, I live at one end of the 38 route and often
use it to get to victoria at the other end, around 50% of the time my
bus won't make-it!
