I think the one about face masks has been altered slightly. According to a driver it's presently the only message that's both automated (broadcasted at timed intervals) yet also a preset message for the driver to press anytime. It's almost on every journey I make. Sometimes twice on the same bus route

It's almost on every journey I make. Sometimes twice on the same bus route I had one where it announced it twice in the period of one stop! And there was me and one other passenger - both of us with masks on! Granted it was a 20 minute stop as a result of traffic.

The problem with apologising for the inconvenience of waiting to even out the service is that apologising or saying sorry means that you will try not to do it again! Trouble is TfL aren't sorry, because they will do it again and again! Truth is that TfL believe an even service is more important than the potentially greater problem of the bus taking an excessively long time to reach its destination.

It's the same with their customer service responses. Reporting drivers for not stopping/being rude etc. and every single time it's Thanks. Sorry. We will contact the operator.

People hear empty apologies all the time. Doesn't matter if it's from your bank apologising for the wait due to busy periods, or politicians saying "lessons will be learnt"... it will make people think twice about taking the bus (very annoying if the 349 bus you are on is overtaken by the one behind and you're a little late for work)...

Enfield Town/Genotin Road now says "alight here for Enfield Town Station". Not sure it's needed when you can literally see the station on the 329 when turning into Genotin Road

Not sure it's needed when you can literally see the station on the 329 when turning into Genotin Road Much improvement, there have been long calls for the stop to be renamed to alight for the station. This should benefit users of the W8 from Gordon Hill and Chase Farm.

There's a new one that I've heard: after announcing the Station Road bus stop in Winchmore Hill towards Wood Green (dk about Enfield) but it then says cross the cycle land with caution. Are there any other stops that has that announcement after it? Stops on the A206 between Kemsing Road and Vanbrugh Hill, as well as Charlton Park Road and Pallet Way also have this cycle lane announcement.

The following announcements have been re-recorded July 2021 Bus Ready to depart (Not Changed) It appears that the "This bus is ready to depart..." element of that message is now omitted, essentially just telling punters to hold on. Been told there's also now a new message advising punters to offer a seat to those who may need it more.
