I suppose I should put in some complaints about drivers not announcing

I've seen these, but "the next stop is closed" is useless to probably
about half of passengers who might want it, unless announced while at
the previous one with the doors open (and remaining open long enough
for changes of mind).


Well, yes, that's what they're meant to do IIRC.

And why can't iBus just be told that a particular stop is closed for a
particular route, then the announcements work automatically?


It can be, and sometimes does, unless the announcements are turned off,
or the computer gets confused about where it is. I wonder if there's
any particular reason why the poor thing gets its little brane in such a
tizzy on the no 8 bus southbound between Oxford St and Green Park.
