Sick of that Beam Park nonsense. Would be better if they said New Road. I mean, it’s the one of the only real area names I could think of. You could use Orchard Village, but that’s barely where the 174 passes through. You could also use Dagenham CEME… There really is just no name yet for the area between Dagenham and Rainham, so I guess Beam Park is the best option right now. I usually call it Orchard Village, though where the 174 terminates I wouldn't call that Orchard Village. Even the 174 I'd change it to 'Beam Park, Marsh Way', or 'Beam Park, CEME' . I was thinking of calling it 'Rainham, Marsh Way' however that would be misleading as the 174 doesn't serve Rainham.

Some Bus terminus renaming (for blinds) 320 - Biggin Hill / Kings Road R2 - Biggin Hill / Melody Road R8 - Biggin Hill / Main Road 61 - Chislehurst/ Gordon Arms R7 - Chislehurst High Street 464, 353 - New Addington Tram Stop (lots of New Addington routes terminating all over Addington, could be made clearer) Being pedantic but the R2 and 320 do not terminate at Biggin Hill, they terminate at Biggin Hill Valley. I also prefer keeping Biggin Hill Valley on the ibus and blinds

Two stops have been renamed in relation to the opening of Brent Cross West Station.
Routes 32, 266 and N32 (Stop SF) - formerly Humber Road has been renamed as 'Brent Cross West Station / Edgware Road'.
Routes 32, 266 and N32 (Stop SB) - formerly Staples Corner Retail Park has been renamed as 'Brent Cross West Station / Edgware Road'.
These haven't been updated yet on the system but will do in due course.

Never really understood the whole naming stops after areas They have started to do this for stops on superloop routes so that passengers know where they are, it would be a bit of a pointless announcement if you were on the SL2 and didn't know Chapel Road was in Ilford.

The Robert Street bus stop for routes 24, 27, 29 and 134 in both directions which keep being moved around different yards due to cycle lanes and roadworks has the southbound bus stop relocated and renamed to William Road
Ibus yet to be changed but stop name and shelter renamed to William Road

The x26 had a few stops updated for the SL7 as did the 151 and 213, nearly six months on they are still being announced on iBus with the old names.

The x26 had a few stops updated for the SL7 as did the 151 and 213, nearly six months on they are still being announced on iBus with the old names. I wouldn’t say an eternity, but eventually it will get replaced with a new record. There was a long period of time where no new announcements were created. I believe the B13 when the Hal & Ride Section was removed waited a good while for official announcements. Annandale Road & Sandhurst Road were the only ones that actually had recordings because they already existed on other routes. Noticed the other day Woolwich Station finally has a recording. Thornton Heath Library got a recording earlier this year finally after not having one for a long time.

Getting ready for the SL3 Carlton Road - Sidcup/Carlton Road Lion Road - Bexleyheath/Lion Road Widmore Road/Kentish Way - Bromley/Widmore Road Glad to see that Carlton Road was renamed. I think the 229 used to stop at two stops with this name, now there's just one. Is the Lion Road one following suit from Bexleyheath/Highland Road, I wonder?

A few days ago, I have noticed the bus stop "Bethlem Royal Hospital" on the 198 route towards Thornton Heath High Street has been changed to "Wickham Road, Monks Orchard". Has this got to do with the SL5?

Has this got to do with the SL5? Probably has to do with the SL5. There are currently northbound and southbound bus stops called " The Bethlem Royal Hospital" in Monks Orchard Road and a single westbound stop called "Bethlem Royal Hospital" in Wickham Road. I would guess the SL5 will serve the Monks Orchard Road stops (as these two are actually sited outside the entrance to the hospital) and to avoid any possible confusion with it passing another "Bethlem Royal Hospital" stop on its journey to Croydon, it has been renamed "Wickham Road / Monks Orchard".
