(04 Aug 2015, 6:05 am)Dan The "at stop" announcement does not include "This is" and merely states the stop name. Admittedly, this does irritate me too. It isn't included at all on the Red Kite 45/46 or Coast & Country 8/78 (but is shown on the screen). It's finding a happy medium between informative and obtrusive to those passengers who don't rely on Next Stop Announcements (not forgetting our drivers, who have to spend a hell of a lot longer on the bus than the passengers!)

Designed to suit ALL parties.
Not annoying enough to frustrate regulars, informative enough to inform irregulars on the route and clear enough for those with disabilities.
