I also wonder how helpful it is to hear "the next stop is Major's Corner" unless you want to go to the Regent Theatre which for some unknown reason it mentions when buses don't run late enough to get back to the P&R terminus after an evening show! It doesn't say "alight here for the shops"!! I can fully understand it in London or Edinburgh due to the huge number of tourists, but I have yet to see an Ipswich P&R bus crammed with Japanese or German tourists looking lost.<br /><br />P&R services are predominantly used by commuters and regular shoppers not tourists but I guess it's just the Victor Meldrew in me coming out - something my Mum says I've had since the age of 4 :))Steve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075632962275755022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-57167293220640549892014-01-21T17:32:04.252+00:002014-01-21T17:32:04.252+00:00Great to hear your observations regarding the new ...Great to hear your observations regarding the new IB P&R fleet - but have to disagree with you regarding the onboard announcements. They're actually very useful - not least for blind or partially sighted people, let alone people who are a bit unsure of the route or who don't know the area (more likely for park and ride passengers surely?). On board announcements have been a feature of London buses for a few years now and very useful they are too. It's a shame the rest of the country is taking so long to catch up, but good on IB - that "bright spark" is actually quite in touch with what passengers want in my opinion...Paulnoreply@blogger.com
