Out of Curiosity (seems to have been hinted already) but when the extension goes ahead, how would it show on the destination blind?
Guessing something like "Southall, THREE BRIDGES" or "Southall, WINDMILL ESTATE" 🤔

The TfL hasn't made any changes regarding the 483 and it's extention to Windmill Park. The website is still saying that the 483 terminates at Ealing Hospital and not Windmill Park.

Regarding the iBus announcement for the 483, I think TfL have been a bit cheeky and reused an existing announcement for the 'Windmill Lane' stop in Greenford, served by routes 92, 282 and E5. This conflicts the VW's blinds which read 'Windmill Park', whereas on the iBus system, it is 'Windmill Lane, Three Bridges'. Will TfL provide an updated iBus announcement saying 'Windmill Lane, Three Bridges'?

Will TfL provide an updated iBus announcement saying 'Windmill Lane, Three Bridges'? Could be a while. TfL are notorious for harvesting announcements from random stop names where possible. The 15, C2 and 3's Regent Street announcement was hilarious as it was taken from the stop name "Regent Street/Hamley's Toy Store" so when it was put as the destination announcement it should sounded ridiculous as you expect her to say something else afterwards. Similarly the EL1's Ilford Station destination announcement was stolen from the stop of the same name (although that one seems to work decently).

I wonder whether route 483 will eventually be extended to Syon Lane? Windmill Lane is quite a significant road not to have a bus along most of it.

It can’t go over the Three Bridge due to weight limit. The only way it get to Syon Lane is double run Windmill Lane, Uxbridge Road, Southall, Norwood Green, Tentelow Road and Windmill Lane. That might be a bit long for the route.

Only cars and vans are allowed over it. The way that buses of any kind can get to the other side and that’s to be diverted is via Southall, Norwood Green and Tentelow Lane. Because they cannot go via the bridge.

First bus route since the last incarnation of the E4 to be blinded for Windmill Park. This is a bit of an upgrade compared to a twice hourly midibus running Mon-Sat shopping hours only!
