The stop announcement for Queens Hospital on the 193 and 365 now only says Queens Hospital however both the stop name and the visual on the bus still say "The Queens Hospital"

This change was requested by Goldsmiths however, Goldsmith University of London is too long. I knew this was on the cards - but Erith Health Centre is still there so change me thinks unless there is a stop in Walnut Tree Road called Erith Library  That's the problem, there is ;D Also noticed they have changed the stop at the Marques of Granby towards NX they have lost collage off of Goldsmiths, now just says "Marques of Granby/Goldsmith's  |

Just picked this one up and passed on. If there are any others that have disappeared into the background let me know. Rather than class it as a fault, i thought i'd put it on here. There are two stops on the 499 route that are classed as Straight Road. The first one is at the traffic light junction of Straight Road and Broxhill Road while the other is at Straight Road and Hilldene Avenue. As i said, both are announced, and shown on the stops, as Straight Road. Could there be a way of renaming the one nearest Broxhill Road to something more suitable, like Broxhill Road? |

There's one similar to John's example on the 89/N89 two stops towards Blackheath named/announced as Shooter's Hill Road Kidbrooke Park Road the one before Kidbrooke Park Road and the one after. |

There's one similar to John's example on the 89/N89 two stops towards Blackheath named/announced as Shooter's Hill Road Kidbrooke Park Road the one before Kidbrooke Park Road and the one after. There's one in Romford that's quite confusing, even for me to understand. Now there are 4 stops at the junction of Brentwood Road and South Street. The 2 in Brentwood Road say South Street, while the 2 in South Street say Brentwood Road. The ones that are located in South Street are fairly sensibly named if you're coming from Roneo Corner on the 5, 248 or 252. However, if you're coming from The Drill on the either the 169, 193 or 294, and are already in Brentwood Road, the iBus announcement would make you think that as you turn into South Street, you're actually turning onto Brentwood Road  Now, i know this could be looked at as happening the same in the opposite direction, but there is a pub on the corner, i believe, of which i can't remember the name. Surely one of the pair of stops could be renamed to reflect this? It's not a major problem, but just an idea i thought that i would put forward |

will the 15H (routemasters) get i-bus Yes and No. The buses will be fitted with the radio's but no passenger displays therefore meaning there will be no announcements. |

and another similar situatation on the 66.. Leytonstone, Green Man Roundabout Bush Rd Stop R Leytonstone, Green Man Roundabout High Rd Stop P both get called out as green man roundabout they are spaced timewise less then 30 seconds from each other. The main problem in most cases is that it just calls what has been set on the bus stops another case of this is the 364 returning to ilford you turn left from coventry road in to cranbrook road but the 364 bus stop is "The Cranbrook" now i know anyone with some common sense etc but its passengers were talking here aint it. i had this yesterday trying to explain that to 4 youths and all i got is no we want cranbrook road etc untill it finally clicked.

Sorry, I have already mentioned a couple of weeks ago the two bus stops outside the military recruitment office in Cranbrook Road Ilford showing two different places, and only being 20 yards apart. Also, the 364 LEAVES Cranbrook Road by Coventry Road (one way eastbound), and rejoins from Park Avenue (one way westbound). |

The Leytonstone Situation is weird but correct because both stops are Green Man Roundabout, The first announcement you get is when your coming round the bend on bush road and the second is when you past the traffic lights opposite to the construction site. |

That is strange as the first stop is named Shooters Hill Road/Kidbrooke Park Road and the following stop is called Kidbrooke Grove so maybe an anouncement problem. Just picked this one up and passed on. If there are any others that have disappeared into the background let me know.

I assume this is the one that was called "The Cranbrook" and has been renamed Coventry Road to bring it into line with the stop close by. and another similar situatation on the 66..
