They should change it to *PLEASE HOLD ON THE BUS IS ALREADY MOVING*

Oxford Bus Company don’t do that, they just say “this is the 400 service to Oxford City Centre” and “the next stop is oxford rail station”

Question: I notice bus drivers always wave to other bus drivers, do you wave at bus drivers from other companies or ignore them? :)

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Simon Sykes ....yes I usually wave to other drivers as long as it's safe as I must keep both hands on the wheel at all times! I'm a cheerful driver!

[@mfviktorherbz]

Simon Sykes I do! mainly ones that i speak to at work though!

[@haz05-06]

I live in Southend, where I was on an Arriva bus, and a First bus went past it on the other side of the road, and the bus driver from the bus I was on stuck up the middle finger lmao I’m dying

[@johnlaing8351]

Simon Sykes Only Bus Drivers from your Garage, Route, or Friends...lol

[@jackwatsonepic626]

I travel on buses quite a lot in Teesside North East of England and I've noticed all bus drivers wave at each other it doesn't matter which company the Bus is from but they do say we are more friendly up the North than down south lol probably because the mortgages and rent are cheaper lol and we are not stressed out as much as them down south lmfao

[@MMBaus]

I'm not really a fan, it's just common sense! And that must get a bit annoying as a driver hearing it all day lol

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Matt Moyes ..in the cab it's not as loud but the passenger's will have to get used to it!

[@stephensheehan4499]

[@BusesinLondon345]

Please hold on *blink blink* the bus *blink blink* is about *blink blink* to move.

[@zkd_345]

It mostly says announcements 5 seconds after moving, that should be fixed especially if the bus is on motorway

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Coper Snickers Aka Zak ...yes....the timing is out!

[@TheArkamedBat]

Nuclear attack siren sounds and the Emergency Broadcast sounds on radio instructing to stop and leave vehicle and seek shelter inmediately if possible. Please hold on, the bus is about to move.

[@jblondon1327]

Well, they changed it fast due to public criticism. Now it's better just reminding people to hold on while the bus is moving.

[@gunnerplaygames2305]

In Yorkshire, we have something similar, like it could say ‘this is the 163 service to Leeds’ and at every stop, the woman says ‘your next stop is:’ and then wherever it may be

[@davidducey9071]

In Ireland we have an announcement something similar that says "Please hold on while the bus is moving or coming to a stop".

[@themysticalgamer2584]

God we need the announcement here in Australia, people are always falling cause they aren’t holding on

Next announcement they will ad: Please hold on, the bus is about to stop :p

[@Fruitforums]

Health and safety gone mad - the next level! Next they're be telling drivers not to pull away until the automated message finished its message. Must drive you mad hearing that 1000s of times a day lol. How long until there will be messages saying mind the gap/step at every stop

[@adamcrane3571]

Good morning Double-decker Anton

[@roadboyhacks1596]

I love you double decker Anton

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

They fixed the announcements.☺ Do you think as a bus driver, that the new announcements are annoying? because every time the bus moves out of a bus stop, u hear that same announcement (please hold on, the bus is about to move).☺

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Joshua Hall a.k.a. Controlla .. I don't hear them as much when I'm in the drivers cab, as the plastic screen helps keep the sound out! But I can see why the passenger's are annoyed!

[@festridge1370]

Thank you

[@J67-h8g]

On the news they said that their is a glitch . They said that it will be fixed . It's really annoying but people should know that the bus will move and they should hold on but it's their anyway to remind them

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

RajhanPlayz ...it should improve but timing is quite tricky to get right!

[@J67-h8g]

DoubleDeckerAnton I know what you mean . lol

[@J67-h8g]

DoubleDeckerAnton they've changed the announcement to please hold on whilst the bus is moving on 27.01.18

[@darrenpoole1251]

Anton I never thought I would ever be watching videos on buses but I really enjoy your videos I’m a concession bus pass holder (disabled) I was wondering the last time I was in London was 2008 I always wondered since watching your content do disabled pass holders travel for free just with Oyster card system

[@8834]

It’s all fun and games till you’re on a shaking bridge and the speaker says “Please hold on, the bus is about to move”

[@lt_20181]

The announcement is okay, timing is a little bit off though

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

8R4THK4J 81 ....yes....can they improve on this? I'm not sure!

[@Gpcas9]

They should shorten the announcement and fix the timing.(Maybe sync it with the breaks?) "Please hold on" would be sufficient like "Mind the gap" or "Keep clam and ...." ;-)

[@adam.m6735]

J..j....just off a **little** *Bus moving at 40 m.p.h* **Please Hold On, The Bus is About to Move** *Emma, we are already going 40 m.p.h on the A4 en-route to the airport with a Metroline Driver*

[@Turkiye958]

Worst one was Boris Johnson’s voice during the Olympics

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

It can cause hearing issues. If I was a bus driver I would be concerned and worried. Still fair play for trying.

[@jameschristmas3206]

I love the way the announcement always plays when the bus is about a mile from the bus stop!

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

James Christmas ...yes...it is sounding too late...it seems the announcement can not keep up with the bus departing....as the route and destination plays as the doors are closing!

[@isaacwood4071]

In Sheffield the announcment system is so slow that halfway through the message saying the next stop youve gone past it

[@crazydogeROBLOXBuildingandGame]

At the depot when no one is on the bus “Please hold on, the bus is about to move”

[@LucyMichela]

They've since made it sooner, but if it's a stop with one passenger in London, you can get stopped, pick them up and go before the end of the destination name! Maybe the '## to Destination' announcement should announce the moment that the doors are opened, with no delay to make it more effective? I don't know really!

[@TheTransportHub17]

Great video as always Anton :)

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

The Transport Hub ..thanks 😊

[@trover420]

i once broke my leg going downstairs on an Arriva bus, easy 40 grand

[@dtvfan24]

tweeted about that annoucement to tfl. it should be coded to be linked to doors closing not a gusstimation of when the bus moves

[@afcmemz2597]

They changed it it now says 'Please hold in the bus is moving'

[@robertmackiey89]

I didn’t know you were in KZbin Anton, hello from sunny Huddersfield.

[@shad0w353]

It should be played when the bus doors close or it would be better if the driver could press a button to announce it.

[@Busje1993]

Please hold on the DoubleDeckerAntonBus is about to move xD

[@Brooo0-x6y]

you sir, have one HELL OF A 🦄TAIL👌

They do it in Singapore too...but it seems to have fallen out of use over time. My hunch is that someone might have sued TfL after a fall.

[@CookieCft]

Nice video Anton!

[@SBS2827U]

from what i heard from BBC, the announcement plays 5 seconds after the route announcement so i guess one way to solve it is to depart around 6 seconds after the route announcement😂

[@zkd_345]

SBS2827U it plays on every bus and I heard it on 292 and 113

[@rhan7177]

Please hold on while the bus is moving I heard that

[@londonbuses2937]

*BUS BREAKS DOWN* Please hold on, the bus, is about to move This bus ain't moving

[@victoriagray7538]

Its a good idea for passengers safety especially if the driver does an emergency stop quickly . But the timing could be better.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Victoria Gray ...yes Victoria....they want to try and make it so there are no passengers falling down and getting hurt! This aide is to help!

[@victoriagray5661]

True, considering how many people I've seen falling down .

[@JMaps25]

It's a waste of announcement. What happens if the bus has to stay put 😅?

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

John Mapanzure ....they are trialling it so there should be a better version out in the spring time!

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

John Mapanzure ...it's not perfect..TFL will use the feedback from passengers/ customers and try and do a better version in due time! 😀👌

please hold on the bus is about to move i like to move move it 😂

[@jacksugden8190]

Seldom hear it these days, the Arriva bus on the 121 at Trent Park Golf Course could have used that announcement recently, I boarded the lower deck for Enfield Island Village, before I could sit down, the bus moved off so fast, before I sit down, or hold a handrail, lost my grip and almost fell on the floor, if it wasn’t for the kindness of passengers, why do bus operators employ car get-a-way drivers?, I got off the bus at the next stop, as the driver did not even know what he had done.

[@shmuckwaffle6571]

It still annoys me.

[@ROCKINGMAN]

I'm not a fan of these buses. It's just a bus, takes you from A to B. But a Routemaster or RT, RF now they were stylish, comfortable and a lot of fun. They were made to last. The better days of London Transport with their collaberation with AEC and Leyland produced a much nicer design.

[@theimposter6405]

I broke my zip card but can I just show it to the bus driver and get in?
