The version I've seen (on the 73 and 168) doesn't have any such
announcements - its vocabulary is just a list of stops, the number and
the destination. I do hope the rolled-out version doesn't have all
the rubbish added.


I've not heard any nagging either (on the 123).


ISTR that the 168 has actually had all (1 word of) the spurious
vocabulary removed, not that it had a lot in the first place. The
original version said "Route...168 To... Hampstead Heath" (I rarely
use it in t'other direction) but the "Route" was soon dropped,
presumably as pointless and annoying.
