Yes controller based curtailments for some reason sometimes will not let you change ibus so the ultimate destination is still displayed - which is no use at all. Why is this? Totally agree. We used to use Barkingside, Fulwell Cross as a curtailment on the 150 from Becontree Heath a lot but Barkingside was only listed as a curtailment, yep you guessed it, from Chigwell Row. Absolutely no use at all. The other thing that bugs me with iBus is that if the controllers put a curtailment in centrally it'll still announce the ultimate destination but simply announce "This bus terminates here" when you get to the required stop. EDIT: Looking back at my original post; it was not a dig at all drivers. I'm one myself after all. It's just the odd few Haven't got a clue mate ;D In such a situation I used to turn the announcements off until the stop I was terminating at where it would correctly announce "This bus terminates here". Seemed to do the trick MOST of the time

LC1 I share your frustrations. That Bexley Village curtailment I raised in June - and still nothing has been done. Remind me about the N89 is it curtailments at Elephant, let me know?. I will yet again try to resolve it, proberly to the tune of "whats its got to do with you" which seems to be the general attitude displayed to me in some areas. Anyway I will continue in my quest to improve/correct things. Hopefully while I still have a job in any case. I also finds it helps if the curtailment is in the system (this is not a dig at TFL as I know it's not there fault ). On the N89 we have NO curtailments between New Cross & Trafalgar Square. On the 229 a regular and popular curtailment of Bexley Village is only available from the other direction (when it would NEVER be used) Yes the system is only as good as the operator, but also what is actually IN the system. You have PM As I said in the original post I'm not blaming you or your colleagues in any way on this. Here's hoping you have a job for as long as you wish.

Do you mean that they are annouceing at different times - please clarify? 71/465/N65 are out of sync with new locations of the Barwell Business Park stops on the route, have been moved down the road since.

You go along on the routes, with it saying Barwell Business Park, then displays Chessington World of Adventure - even though it hasn't even gone past Barwell Business Park stop.
Also - it's Chessington World of Adventures, not Chessington World of Adventure.

Don't know where to put this, but Route 139 doesn't have "Aldywch" as a selectable curtailment.

Trafalgar Square, Northumberland Ave is the curtailment. Don't know where to put this, but Route 139 doesn't have "Aldywch" as a selectable curtailment.

Trafalgar Square has it's own curtailment. I'm just a little bemused at the fact "Aldwych" doesn't have one considering the popularity of it.

Had a nice change to show how good the iBus system is last night. Vehicle 4003 was displaying a message under the stop names showing the following "Route 499 - not serving Heaton Avenue due to icy roads". Never seen this before and was very impressed, though not sure quite how accurate it was
