Maybe at one time both stops were called Hulse Avenue and the other stop has been renamed Hillfoot Avenue but Ibus is waiting to catch up - I am only taking a guess. I have asked for this to be looked into. Keep us informed if you are on the 365 and the problem persists. It's the Hillfoot Avenue stop but the iBus announces it as Hulse Avenue not as Hillfoot Avenue as per the stop flag EDIT: I've just noticed the error in my original post. Sorry for the confusion Thanks Beaver - will do  |

i know the docklands area quite well and on the 100 i-bus it says St Katharine's Dock but the dock is called St katharine docks so why's that No, St. Katherine's Dock IS correct. It is a single dock with direct connection, via two lock gates, to the River Thames just down river from Tower bridge. You may have seen 'Docks' (plural) mentioned on local road signs, but if so, THEY are incorrect, not the bus blind! No see this www.skdocks.co.uk/ |

Boarded a bus this morning. I was the ONLY passenger, and as the doors shut an announcement (also on iBus display) said 'move down the bus please, more seating upstairs'. Fine! I was on a route 366 ALX200 Dart!  On a more positive iBus note, the stop between Coventry Road and Park Avenue in Cranbrook Road, and name 'The Cranbrook', has now been changed to agree with its sister stop as 'Coventry Road'. |

I was on the route 336 but i was carry my shopping bags and i put on the shelf and i have to hold my shopping bags but man won't move down so i can move down a bit and hold my shopping bags. however, half way though, bus driver decide to put the message out same as above. So i thought bloody cheeky! but i can't move coz man won't move down. so i stuck. so I ignore it. Sorry i was mean to say i was stand in the middle between Two Wheels's shelf but i was holding my shopping bags coz didn't want to fall down or thing go wrong. it was packed. |

Yes unfortunately in these situations the majority of people seem to have the "someone else can move" mentality, and of course in the end no one moves despite there being space and passengers often have to be left behind.

It is especially bad when there are empty seats at the back of a bus after someone gets off, but some idiot decides they would rather stand at and so nobody can get past to see or use them, and everyone else standing gets squashed.

Yea its the same on the tube when its crowded, some idiot will push in front, take a step on and then just stand in the doorway and not move down, getting in the way of everyone else. If I'm only going a couple of stations I always make sure I am one of the last on so i can squash myself against the door to ensure I can get off when I have to.

I ask in a loud but polite (yes, REALLY ;D) voice 'Excuse me'. If that elicits no attempt to move, they simply leave the bus/train WITH me! ;D |

Similar scenario with an empty upper deck - despite the numerous times I've played the "Seats Available Upstairs" message nobody moves and again people get left. I tend to go straight upstairs when I get on a double deck bus |

I tend to go straight upstairs when I get on a double deck bus I do if the seat by the lower emergency exit isn't available. Though it does suprise me the amount of people who decide they won't go upstairs. Up this problem on the 174 this morning where the driver just sat there until people moved down the bus |

Happens alot in brixton too. Everyone stands downstairs blocking others from getting in, which can be disastrous as I have driven past stops thinking the bus is packed  |

I hate it when you ask people to move down the bus (pre iBus) and everyone moves down apart from one person... I usually turn around in the seat and say loudly "that includes you" and then sit there looking at them not moving the bus until they comply.
I doubt iBus wil make any difference, in fact I think it will be worse. It's easier to ignore an announcement than a driver looking you in the eye
