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.


The 65 (Transdev) and number 9 (presumably also Transdev) are the
same.

The only things that irritates me about that one are a couple of
unsuitable intonations and the fact that she announces the number 9 as
just the "9". Am I the only person in London who is anal about the
pronunciation of bus numbers?
