(03 Jul 2018, 4:25 pm)Dan On all buses with the newer Next Stop Announcement system, the "This is the xx service to yy" announcement is played whenever the doors of the bus are closed. Just a trial for now, based on feedback and requests.

Ah, unless it was because the driver reopened the doors to let some last second passengers on. It was a little annoying though as he happened to reopen the doors at 2 or 3 stops in a row, so it played twice each time.
I'm all for the idea but maybe if they go ahead with it properly they could do it on GPS(?) like the next stop lines, rather than on the doors opening/closing?
Also a shortened version (like London's) would be much more suitable/less annoying if played so regularly - i.e simply: "21, to, Newcastle", rather than "This is the Angel 21 service, to Newcastle".
