Currently on the N9 and the following iBus message plays: "You are now entering (Kensington/Hammersmith/Turnham Green/Brentford/Hounslow - delete as appropriate)" - when did that start...?

Sorry I thought it was a recent thing. But I like it - would help those not familiar with the area & stop names

The N1 has now started saying these things eg. When going towards the Creek Road/Norman Road bus stop, the iBus would say, 'Creek Road/Norman Road - You are now entering Greenwich'.

The N7 has "You are now entering Yeading" as you pass the "Welcome to Northolt" sign, and "You are now entering Northolt" coming off the Target Roundabout

Have seen this on all N routes in N.London, however it seems to be absent from the night portion of a 24 hour route, such as the 149 I'm on now!
Which brings me to a thought I just had... Route 149 AFAIK was the trial for the first ibus when the 149 was a bendy in it's early years... Anyone got any photos or stories/feedback on anything that was used but no longer used in the widespread format?

But I fo recall in the ealr iBus days the word "Route" was displayed and announced. For example it would announce "Route 149 to London Bridge"

Come to think of it, I was on the N171 about a month ago and it said "You are now entering New Cross" when I was coming up to Amersham Vale. The N136 also says "You are now entering Lewisham" when approaching Loampit Vale.

I wonder if this will be rolled out on the Day routes as well, It's pretty useful for people new to the area and I don't see any reason why it can't be introduced

Here's a little photo (and article) about Emma Hignett becoming the Voice of London's Buses iBus On Route 149

Has the you are now entering.... on Ibus been scrapped?
because I was on N63 some time ago, the bus was approaching St George's way towards Peckham when Ibus announcemnt said St Georges way you now entering Sydenham and I though I'm nowhere near Sydenham. And my brother said when on his way home from crystal palace on the 363 one evening the bus was at Droitwich close the Ibus said you are now entering Peckham and I'm thinking it's nowhere Peckham. How weird is that!

How weird is that! Hasn't been scrapped. I was on the N87 on Saturday Morning, and still had the announcements.
