Groundbreaking Talking Bus Arrives in Swindon

A bus that talks - isn’t that fun? Swindon residents and visitors can now fully enjoy a talking mode of transport. This ground breaking transport service is provided and introduced by Thamestown Transport - and is now revolutionising the way Swindon passengers travel.

The talking bus currently operates through six main routes throughout the town, making it easily acessible for residents and tourists staying in Swindon Hotels. The audio system signas passengers and tells them the name of the stop that’s coming up. Swindon buses have has visual systems introduced to them by Thamesdown Transport back in 2006, but people who have eye problems haven’t benefited from the initiative at all. This audio accompaniment to the visual system is perfect for the partially sighted and the blind. Of course, the voice of community raido personality Shirley Ludford can be a great wake - me - upper those who tend to fall asleep in buses as well!  I recommend this Swindon hotel finder if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Swindon.
