How to play the ibus announcements 19th August 2021

3 minutes 45 into the video, the time was not 1440, it was telling me 14 minutes and 40 seconds until I was due to depart

One announcement still needed: "Please let the wheelchair user off first". This is to be used when a bus is turned short and everyone is directed to the following bus which is waiting behind. What normally happens is all the disgruntled passengers rush to the bus behind and the first driver lowers the wheelchair ramp just as the second bus pulls away. This has happened to me more than once, usually when its raining.

[@BristolRE]

That's a good point actually, though I personally would open the front doors for people to start alighting whilst at the same time putting the ramp out

Slight PTSD when hearing "The destination has changed". Due to traffic, the 307 would always terminate at New Barnet Sainsbury's... as I used to travel to Barnet and Southgate College (Barnet Campus) from 2015-2019. Nice coverage anyway Peter.

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, and yes, always a pain, especially when any curtailment will leave either end of the route suffering.

[@CycleDaniel]

I guess the bus ready to depart might be useful after a driver change or being held at a bus stop for a long time

[@BristolRE]

I've never actually used it.

Great video Peter Gives those interested an insight to what goes on in the hotseat

[@BristolRE]

Cheers

[@mazzarouni5608]

Indeed

Buses are fitted with CCTV Cameras 2:48

[@BristolRE]

Yes

[@edward6206]

Great video - how often do you use these announcements when in service?

[@BristolRE]

Cheers, I use the 'Being held to regulate the service' often, maybe 2 or 3 times each journey, and the 'Bus terminates' and 'driver changeover' at the appropriate times. I don't have a need for the others unless we go on diversion.

[@djittla007]

Great video - thank you 👍🏼

[@BristolRE]

Thanks

[@nurseberta]

Sounds like control were giving you bingo numbers.... 😂

[@BristolRE]

Lol

[@chandlerbstransport422]

On a bus once, the driver played the 'bus is ready to depart' recording every time we left a stop.

[@BristolRE]

That's madness! I've never used it yet.

[@chandlerbstransport422]

@@BristolRE It was very annoying!

[@chandlerbstransport422]

I have also seen a video of the 'seats upstairs' recording on a single decker bus!

[@BristolRE]

@@chandlerbstransport422 I can believe that!

[@BristolRE]

@@chandlerbstransport422 I've done that, lol

Blimey Peter you virtually live in Enfield Island Village

[@BristolRE]

🤣. Unfortunately that's where the 121 goes, Lol

[@dom_dom2011]

I notice the new updates on the ibus display show the date it has changed?! Jul 21 to be exact!

[@BristolRE]

Do they? I didn't see that.

[@dom_dom2011]

@@BristolRE yeah. I’ve heard 2 announcements. Driver change and service regulation. The ibus display shows something like “Driver Change - Jul 21” can’t remember the other one, but it doesn’t scroll.

[@BristolRE]

@@dom_dom2011 Fair enough, might have to look out for that!

Nice video Peter

[@ftminton3256]

How does the next stop ones work??

[@BristolRE]

Automatically, so I'm guessing some kind of gps tracking or sensor on the bus stops

[@fearless_huseyin]

Good video Peter

[@BristolRE]

Cheers

[@TrainBoy-tf9gh]

Nice video Peter, you can delete the existing videos about the i bus announcements back in 2019.

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, I'll leave them up as different announcements

[@TawheedRahmanBengali]

Nice video keep it up

@@BristolRE you are welcome

[@kevinwoodruff8994]

All fascinating stuff I think I need a new one stop your baby screaming as the driver needs to concentrate please keep your baby quiet. 👍

[@BristolRE]

Absolutely!

[@Ayas759]

That’s a lot of stand time mate

[@BristolRE]

Once in a while you get lucky

[@THOMASTHETANKENGINE436]

Was that fun playing tg ibus anncouments

[@BristolRE]

Not especially, lol

[@mahammad]

The new service regulation and driver change and other new re-done announcements that have been updated in the past few months sounds horrible to me. It's just pointless and unnecessary rewording, the classics are miles better and professional. Even the monitor has become more useless, before it used to display the actual announcement text, now it displays unhelpful texts like "driver change".

[@BristolRE]

Yes, agree, like 'The driver has been told..........' is very bad, 'The driver has been instructed.......' was much more professional

[@Abdul.M.]

Ibus Old Announcement Bus destination better

[@BristolRE]

Most of the old ones were better

[@Abdul.M.]

@@BristolRE yeah I agree mate

[@ClassicVideos30]

You know the announcement you actually said pointless I heard it before driver's do actually use it bus about to move please hold on I did hear very often but some driver's on the 317 and also the 217 use it

[@BristolRE]

Odd, I've never used it. I travel on buses a lot and have never heard it used. I guess some do use it, though I can't see the point of it.
