(10 Jul 2018, 4:59 pm)ne14ne1 Angel 6331 tonight seemed to be announcing "this is the Angel 21 service to X" when we were stopped with the doors open, then again as the doors were closed.
Maybe one to check?
On paper, this is more or less impossible to happen now, following the update carried out today. It's possible 6331 hadn't received this updated version when you noted this issue.
There is a dedicated 'silencer' audio file on doors open (which is essentially just an mp3 file with no audio), and there is a 2-second delay on doors close before the service announcement is played. This would prevent any issues with the door sensors 'bouncing' resulting in the duplication of the announcement.
One to keep an eye on though.

(10 Jul 2018, 5:55 pm)S813 FVK I'd say the buses transferred from other depots will be more likely. Imagine they will want to keep all the EYMS & ex-London buses on the Park and Rides (latter even more with their sticker destinations)
Deptford-based buses will be allocated to the 33T. On paper probably 6099 and 6100, but no real plan set in stone and if the 33T is as quiet as the Park & Ride buses today, there'll be no need for double-deck capacity and a spare single-deck (or minibus) will do, with the doubles being better utilised on their intended purpose of being spare buses for the 56.
