Talking Buses

om (CJG Now Thankfully Living In The North) wrote in message . com... I was on one bus. Im not sure of the number. But was travelling from Liverpool Street via City to Picadilly area and they have a screen showing news and a program about underwater life. Surely this could be used to display the next stop before you get there? Service RV1 (Tower Gateway to Covent Garden via Southwark) displays illustrated details of the next stop including transport interchanges and tourist attractions on several LCD panels throughout the bus, albeit in a silent fashion. I've no idea how it works, but it does seem to do the job very well. It is very good. Or at least it is when it's working, which seems to be less than half of the times I've travelled on that route. -- message by Robin May, enforcer of sod's law. The Hutton Report is a whitewash! Long live the BBC! To annoy people in a slow lift: run up the stairs faster than the lift moves and press the lift call button on each floor. |

My Dutch friend was less impressed - she had seen them before somewhere. But it was useful as I wasn't sure of the precise route it was going to take so could work out the best place to jump off.
