Default Constant anouncements on London Buses

I've just remembered the most annoying bus announcement, and it's not
iBus.

I think it's Route 133 to/from Liverpool Street. When someone presses
the bell to get off, this loud, asthmatic alarm sound starts, with a
stilted 'Bus. Stopping. At. Next. Bus. Stop. Please. Stand. (Well.?)
Clear. Of. Doors'.

Every single stop. For the entire journey.


Yup. That happens on the 213 (Sutton-Kingston) too. I occasionally
speak on the phone to a commuter on the said route, and tend to join
in with the announcement to avoid being driven mad...
