But it is not Streatham Hill Bus Garage, it is Brixton Bus Garage. Kind of a Catford Bus Garage conundrum Technically the area should belong to Brixton because it's SW2, but it feels more like Streatham. I'd define the Streatham/Brixton border as where the South Circular crosses the A23 The Brixton border finishes at roughly where Brixton Water Lane is depending on who you speak to, with everything from there up to the South Circular defined as Brixton Hill. Once over that, your in Streatham Hill. The SW2 postcode consists of Brixton Hill, Tulse Hill, Streatham Hill and a small part of Brixton as that falls mainly under SW9.

So they announce “319 to Streatham Hill” instead? Yep, seems to be the case now. This surprises me as TfL have been making destinations more specific as of late and then pull out this all of a sudden. The 59 and 137 seem to be as usual though. What a moronic decision - there is a reason why it's been known as Telford Avenue for decades. There are better things to be spending time on than playing with I-Bus destinations that were fine to begin with.

Has the 483 always been 'Windmill Park, Three Bridges'? I think some announcements are too specific like 'Heathrow Airport Central bus station' whilst others like 'Enfield' are too vague. Windmill Park in itself is too vague, but people from outside the area wouldn't have a clue where that is. The problem is that Windmill Park is neither Southall nor Hanwell, and is probably more aligned to Norwood Green. But even then Norwood Green (the bus stop by that name) is about a mile away so that would cause confusion.

Was the new Streatham Station announcement (on P13 to Streatham Station) recorded by Emma Hignett? It sounds so awful and nowhere near the usual announcement tone

It sounds so awful and nowhere near the usual announcement tone It also sounds like it was recorded with no enthusiasm... it’s funny how many things have been re-recorded however the B13 new stops don’t have any recordings yet lol.
