They are now.
(21 Mar 2016, 9:31 pm)Coppercap40 Had a trip to Bishop on the X21 today, outward on 6306 returning on 6301 on arriving at the University Hospital of N.Durham the announcement and visual display both said Dryburn Hospital, on the return however the announcement was for the University Hospital etc but the visual display was not working, I also noticed the Dryburn announcement on 6303 and 6304 last week.
The stop at Clifford Terrace in Chester Le Street comes over as Cliffords Terrace on the announcements .
It should do both.
University Hospital of North Durham is this stop:

Durham - Dryburn Hospital is this stop:

It may be that the stops are too close together for it to do the audio announcement for the second stop, in each direction. The visual display will scroll 'University Hospital of North Durham' the once, as it approaches, given that the stop name is too long to be static.
The audio announcement for Clifford Terrace is definitely singular rather than plural, and all marketing documents (ie timetables etc) refer to the stop as 'Corals' plural, hence why it is like this on the Next Stop Announcements.
(22 Mar 2016, 11:30 am)Acky81 Just passing saltmeadows seems the green north Tyne links are in for paint job. Possibly red possibly off to Deptford like most of them back where they started life.
I've noticed 542 on the 38 recently and it's still that horrible yellow colour. Will it ever go red? Or be sold on?
Roadworks inside saltmeadows what's happening??
549 is the MPD being repainted red at Saltmeadows Rd. Also joined by OmniCity 5245, going blue like 5243/44.
The 'roadworks' are water works being conducted on site.
