My knowledge of just how much many "blind" people can actually see comes,
funnily enough, from the RNIB a few years ago, when they ran a campaign
to persuade people that there were lots more blind people than everyone
thought and so we should all give them lots of money. What the campaign
actually convinced me of is that most blind people aren't blind.

This may well be the case, but it helps, and replaces the service of
shouting out stops that used to be performed by conductors.

Like many other accessibility improvements such as ramps and lifts, it
also helps others. In this case, these would be tourists, new bus
users, those who aren't familiar with the area etc. As bus use needs
to be encouraged over car use, anything that makes the bus less scary
for such people is a good thing, and the announcements are short so
not really disruptive at all.

It's being done by garage - the 123 runs from Tottenham so all buses on
the route are using the new system. The 76, 243, 41, W4 are other routes
from Tottenham as well as some 73s (some run from Lea Valley garage).
The 341 is run from Northumberland Park - don't know where that is in
the installation programme.

Since the W4 is mentioned here... how does i-bus handle hail and ride
sections?
