one route comes to mind - on the 308 to Wanstead in stratford. i've seen numerous passengers who are not familar with the route require Stratford Station, they obviously are unaware that in the Wanstead direction it doesn't serve Stratford Station and end up in forest gate today, i was heading towards Wanstead and some passengers who boarded the bus at the first stop in Clapton Park ended up in Wanstead. Personally if it where up to me - i'd think that'd be a candidate to for the alight here announcement. I Have it at the stop entitled - Stratford/ Romford Road for the 308 only Nice to see my suggestion has been put into practice, the original announcement of "Theatre Royal, Stratford" has been modified to announce "Theatre Royal, Stratford, alight for Stratford Stn" which is helpful.

And the 69 has a new alight here announcement, at Stratford Centre. Now Stating Alight for Stratford Station at the end

The following Alight Here's have done gone: Westminster Bridge/ County Hall Alight here for St Thomas Hospital Oval Station Alight here for Oval Cricket ground Suggestions: There are some bus stops which on the bottom of the flag have "Alight here for ....... 200m". Wouldnt it make sense for these stops to get alight here annoncments as they are on the bus stops. A couple from the top of my head. Boston Manor Road "alight here for Brentford Station"-Route H91 Rennels way "alight here for Isleworth Station"-Route H37 Are the Oval and St Thomas's announcements back to the way they were? Suprised they are gone, especially the Oval one as one can't see the station from Brixton Road, especially going northbound. The 'kennington church, alight for oval station' is still there. Im not sure about the cricket ground though

St Thomas Hospital and Oval cricket ground were removed for a period whilst some background work was carried out - they should/or will be back soon. Are the Oval and St Thomas's announcements back to the way they were? Suprised they are gone, especially the Oval one as one can't see the station from Brixton Road, especially going northbound. The 'kennington church, alight for oval station' is still there. Im not sure about the cricket ground though

As regards to the suggestions, the service is still in it’s initial roll out phase and centred mainly on routes passing through the Waterloo area (along with a few others that it was felt could be added like the Trafalgar Square for the N89).

On the 45 or 63 (one, but not the other, can't remember which), at the northbound bus stop just before Blackfriars Bridge, it announces "Alight here for Tate Modern"

I know the 'Alight Here' announcements are in the early(-ish) stages and the chances of us folk out in the sticks getting them are slight but is there any chance of one at the Crown on Bromley Common telling passengers to 'alight here for Bromley College' Failing that, a couple of new stops outside the College wouldn't go amiss! ;D

Paul - I am sure they will make it out to the sticks in the future.
