It's annoying that the iBus system wont let you curtail on your last trip before meal relief or finishing so as a driver you turn the announcements off. Then you cant play any of the pre-recorded messages such as the next bus stop is closed. Hmm I am not sure if I understand but if I understand correctly I never have this issue?

I had that where the bus stop got closed middle of shift, doing early afternoon shift as well so a lot of elder people on bus, wasn't gonna make them walk up steep hill for 15 mins so just stopped where it's safe to do so just after the bus stop. Obviously it's a driver discretion and obviously if anything happens it's on driver 100% but sometimes gonna consider being human being and do the right thing. If I know the bus stop is closed, then stop at the stop before and play announcement or tell them, then you got your back covered if they complain, but if you don't do that then good luck listening to all the yapping. My 224 driver did that yesterday - the Knatchbull Road stop in Harlesden was shut but the driver stopped in the safest spot possible and told them to use the front door as it wasn’t possible through the rear door.
Sometimes they also do front doors only because front doors open and close twice as fast, plus driver has a better view of where passenger is getting off...especially with these new MMCs where it prevents you from driving until doors are fully shut and brake is pressed.
