"Next stop: Holmeside, for the Port of Call and Subway"
"Next stop: Murton Colliery Inn, for Whitworth's Pharmacy and Dee's Thai Cafe"
"Next stop: Peterlee Bus Station, for Sambuca's and Home Bargains"
These are name checking specific businesses, not listing points of interest.
A point of interest is something that someone may find useful or interesting. Just because you don't find it useful or interesting, doesn't mean that others won't.
As with everything on this forum, posters tend take things to the extreme to try and labour their point. Listing every pharmacy, which by their nature tend to be a local services with their own catchment area, would be ridiculous. As would listing every Subway or McDonald's franchise.
On the other hand, buses informing where to alight for places like the Grainger Market, Quayside, Durham Riverwalk or Trinity Square, is likely to prove very helpful to those unfamiliar with the area.
What is it you're actually against here? This particular decision or next stop announcements overall?
