We used to have this - it was called "the conductor"..... Sigh....


Many moons ago, the conductor may well have called the name of all
stops out. I haven't seen one do this at all in recent years of
Routemaster use in London.


They do have PA on many buses.


Never heard it used on any bus in London that I can recall.

The only time I ever discovered they actually had PAs on the buses was
on the N73 one night, when I was rudely awoken at Walthamstow Central
with the driver announcing "This bus terminates here!".

I was asleep on the luggage rack (the bus was full when I got on it!),
and the only person left on the bus, so why he didn't just turn round
and shout at me I don't know. :-)
