Unfamiliar term to me though I recognise the item visually.

Interesting that TfL still don't seem to be interested in Kassel kerbs.

I wonder if there has been either in London, or anywhere else in Europe,
which requires activation of a lamp or any sort of signal beacon to let
a bus or even train know that there are passengers wishing to board at a
particular stop.

Yes, you get that in the Netherlands at bus stops on main roads
sometimes. The Swiss also have a similar system at some railway
request stops, e.g. on the Vevey-Puidoux "Train des Vignes".

The stop named Kopstadkrysset on the Nor-Way Bus Express line 190
(Kristiansand - Oslo) has such an arrangement. Passengers press a
button at the stop and a signal is lit on the main road.
