The last line sounds like my favourite central line
" This is Woodford, where this terminates. Please mind the gp between the train and the platform. All change please, this train now terminates here. Please take all your belonging with you when you leave the train"

3.) How does it sound? What are the lines in the ibus for bus routes? (other words, what does it include?) It... sounds... very annoying... travelling more...than a few stops on... Route... 243... ;D It can be handy if you're new to an area and are looking for a specific stop along the way but it is very wearing if you are travelling a long distance (i.e Bruce Grove to Theobald's Road). Thankfully, some drivers turn the sound off but you can still see the information on the screen. It also tells drivers warnings of low bridges along the way (warning... low.. bridge... to your right... at Sperling... Road), but sometimes as a passenger we hear these messages as well It can be too much to hear after a long day's work... I don't know how the drivers manage to put up with it... I never hear it working on the W4 or 318 though... I guess it depends where the beacons are fitted along the route. I guess it means the 318's now have a fancier 'bus stopping' sign than before and that's it ;D OH! I am sorry to hear that mate! I travel long journeys usually before I left London in August 2006 to come to Jamaica until July 2008 for a student foreign exchnage trip! This is what I would do every Weekday (18:00 - 23:00): Central Line to Stratford and change for the Jubbile Line to Canada Water and C10 to Victoria or either Central Line to Oxford Circus Victoria Line to Victoria Hang by 73 stand for 2/3hrs, taking pics of buses 73 to Seven Sisters Station ( usually sometimes get a drop to Tottenham Hale if going back to Lea Valley or to Tottenham Swan by a lovely bus driver! 230 to Saint James Street Station or Victoria Line to Walthamstow Central and 20/ 275, if on 275 to Snakes Lane East. If on 20 to the Castle and cycle down I would usually do every weekend or week, if I am on holdiay! (Usually includes talking the Underground or overhead during interchanges, but it is not in this list order, but the direction is the same eg, from Stratford - Lewisham!) 108: Stratford - Lewisham 181: Lewisham - Grove Park 273: Lewisham - Petts Wood 208: Petts Wood - Lewisham 225: Hither Green - Canada Water 36/185/436: Camberwell - Victoria C10: Canada Water - Victoria 507: Victoria - Waterloo 521: Waterloo - London Bridge 275: Snakes Lane East - Woodford (every day) 73: Victoria - Seven Sisters (every day) 484: Lewisham - Camberwell 230: Tottenham Swan - Saint James St/ Walthamstow (connect with 275) 20: Walthamstow Central - Woodford Castle (only if I miss 02, 42 past 275 bus from the Bus Station so I can take 15 or 45 past 20 bus instead and ride down Snakes Lane East and West on my scooter, the push one) X26: East Croydon - Heathrow 239: Victoria - Clapham Junction 25: Oxford Circus - Stratford 397: Debden - South Chingford 34: Walthamstow - Edmonton or to Barnet Church 142: Brent Cross - Watford During the night: ( 3 nights per wk) N55: Woodford Castle - Wanstead N8: Wanstead - Stratford 108: Stratford - Lewisham N21/ N36: Lewisham - New Cross 453: New Cross - Oxford Circus 25: Oxford Circus - Ilford 25: Ilford - Stratford N8: Stratford - Wanstead N55: Wanstead - Woodford Wells Do you think I can manage the Ibus on all of these routes lol???

This is my 1st post in the Ibus thread! So as far as I have read, it is a machine, like the try-outs, which was on Route 149 in 2005/6, but now on every bus!!
1.) Doesn't the timetable/ journey time increase? 2.) How can it operate on backstreet bus routes like 484, when bus stops are close? 3.) How does it sound? What are the lines in the ibus for bus routes? (other words, what does it include?)

I think there's still some spare numbers between 1 & 499. There surely can't be enough numbers between 1 - 499 for: A10, B11, B12, B13, B14, B15, B16, C1, C2, C3, C10, C11, D3, D6, D7, D8, E1, E2, E3, E5, E6, E7, E8, E9, E10, E11, G1, H2, H3, H9, H10, H11, H12, H13, H14, H17, H18, H19, H20, H22, H23, H25, H26, H28, H32, H37, H50, H91, H98, K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, P4, P5, P12, P13, PR2, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R11, R68, R70, RV1, S1, S2, S3, S4, T31, T32, T33, U1, U2, U3, U4, U5, U7, U9, U10, W3, W4, W5, W6, W7, W8, W9, W10, W11, W12, W13, W14, W15, W16, W19, X26, X68.

What so, W11, W12, W13, W14, W15, W19 and may others hsall be re-numbered??
So would buses routes go into the 500's?? It would be the 1st seeing a route like for example 510, which could replace W14 runnig everyday, because usually routes with 5 and another 2 digits are either non TFL or don't run everyday.

Well upto the fact about reaching Brixton, I wouldn't have reported him. I would have talked to him at the garage or Crystal Palce and told him if you want to play this kind of game, no problem!
But from the point about passengers exchanging buses I would ask some passengers to write their names and telephone number on in my notepad, which I would always have and report him, so when it gets reported you have witnesses and proof that passengers had to exchange buses for no reason.
Then he will know who to mess with and who not to, because I don't like grassing on people, but he asked for it, so he got it lol! Like I wouldn't tell if a driver left his passengers and went to the shop quickly or another driver was speeding because for sure I would be a fast driver going 5mph - 15mph over the limit and I would occasionally stop quicly if I am early and buy a bottle of watr or a chocolate/ crisp by the newsagents/ tesco's ect!!!

fair enough!!!
better character/ personality Booming economy Free NHS Better Cities Increase in Pension money Bank of England independence Handling terror attacks wonderfully Helping Africa winning 3 terms Help win the 2012 Olympics Better Education System National Mininum Wage Less Pollution Expansion in ChildCare Child povertydecreased More Legal Rights New British Constutions, eg Mayor Of London, Welsh Assembly Helping Bringing Peace to N. Ireland and many more! Also Tony Blair is a more relaxed kinder guy. He knows when to have a laugh and when not to. He managed 10yrs in and out of critisim, lies, rumours about him, which ain't true. Gordon Brown can't even manage this little thing!!!

Tony Blair space out his words, so you can fully understand. Gordon Brown just continues and continues. I can't wait to see Gordon Brown's first PMQ's. I wonder if he can debate as good as Tony and make a couple of jokes
