Why do the automated bus stop announcements (presumably based on GPS) on some London bus routes get their location quite wrong? I notice that buses passing Tottenham Court Road station, for example, sometimes announce that they are at the 鈥淧etersham, Fox and Duck鈥� pub. I鈥檓 guessing this probably has nothing to do with the ongoing excavation there as part of the Crossrail transport project, which has meant buses in the vicinity being subjected to some diversions.
