I was quite shocked to see a Tube reference on a bus.

Now that is good.

Perhaps an even better improvement for the future (which I've not seen
on buses anywhere, but the Hamburg U-Bahn does have the feature) would
be to allow the control room to take control of the PA of all or
selected buses, and thus to announce connectional information like
that? Presumably the information was sent to the driver via the radio
then he pressed the button, but why not take out the middle man?
