The person who records these iBus annocements must have been paid a lot, after she spent a long time recording every single bus stop and route name in London.

Saying this, route 468 has had it's southbound destination updated to read "468 to South Croydon , South End"... yet when it's announced, the iBus lady will read "468... to..."

i'm sure a lot of stops are just repeats, there must be a few london roads and high streets...

Although a lovely sounding lady, as lc1 would agree, couldn't they have chosen someone less......irritating? NatEx changed their rather clam sounding cockney bloke to a too calm, well spoken woman. Now i find it annoying when ever she speaks ;D

I get the feeling our iBus lady is a Spurs fan - if anyone rides on route 252 you will hear the enthusiasm with which the "White Hart Lane" stop announcement has been done

Now i find it annoying when ever she speaks ;D Experienced it at Stratford and i aint used the shenfield metro in a couple of weeks. The Next Train on platform 8 is the 13:19 NXEA Service to shenfield Calling at Maryland, etc. But There was that fatality at Ingatestone/Shenfield, there was mad delays on the main line, causing the women to announce affected delayed services every 2 minutes, have to agree john. she is annoying. I Like The IBUS Lady

I Like The IBUS Lady I meant the on train annoucements on the 360's and 321's, but the new one for the stations is pretty cool. I think it's the same one as c2c have. Anyway, Greeny, she'd be right too. Heard her a while back on the 247 and she made me proud lol

Something along the lines of "This bus terminates here" ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Although I must admit my favorites are "the destination of the bus as changed" or "the bus is being held here for a few minutes to help regulate the service". You can hear the groans from everyone as soon as you play them ;D ;D And John if she is she's a bloody idiot, even I saw the light now remember to watch Skysports Monday night

I think the Ibus lady must have been having an off day when she did the latest update on the 286, because when she announces the 'Well Hall Road, Well Hall Roundabout' stop she sounds really depressed lol
