Caught this announcement on the 44 this afternoon. I'm guessing its another 'please hold on' test announcement though I thought I'd mention it here

I'm guessing its another 'please hold on' test announcement though I thought I'd mention it here It's been the case for a couple of months now, however unlike the hold on announcement this one doesn't play automatically at a time the bus is already moving. It's triggered by the driver when they deem necessary, or in some cases when they're bored  |

I heard the announcement for the first time on Tuesday. Similarly, I wondered if it was new trial or the implementation of a feature stemming from one of the earlier trials.

Last Friday/ Saturday morning (last bus) on route 468 from Croydon towards Elephant and Castle, I heard this announcement every time as the driver was about to close the doors. It seemed better timed and it was announced just as the bus doors closed. However, I did not hear "468 to Elephant and Castle." I guess this announcement overrides the destination announcement.

It's one of the preset announcements that can be activated at anytime by the driver. A Merton driver does similar whenever I see him driving the 152 or 200, often waiting for the route and destination broadcast to play first before activating. |
