(02 Jun 2015, 2:09 pm)Michael Would be good to see GNE expand their Tynedale Links network, most of the services can be merged.
Yeah just depends who is awarded the contract really.
Could increase passenger numbers on the Tynedalexpress too, with a service Kielder.

. What's all this about on the new 82/82A timetable? It goes to Stepehnson but it doesn't because it says it doesn't on the timetable?!?! Could confuse a lot of people.

Stephenson Ind Est might not show on the timetable for clarity, I'd generally assume that it's between Concord and Birtley?

Yeah, picked it up from the Galleries today. From 31st May

I know that, my point is, it says on the timetable that it goes from Concord to Birtley where as above it says Concord to Stepehenson

Must be a printing error, report it to GNE.

(02 Jun 2015, 8:49 am)Scott Saw a red Wright Cadet on training duties yesterday.
I can confirm it was 8250(NA52 BVC) which you had seen, which appears to of Temporarily joined the Driver Training Fleet at Riverside Depot as it has an L Plate on the front, 8251(NA52 BVD) is also at Riverside possibly for the same reason although it wasnt parked alongside 8250 and the other Driver Training Vehicles.

As you all know, we were out testing the Next Stop Announcements last week and I did say I liked Brian Moore as opposed to Stu Elmore. Don't know why, but I had a favourite announcement as well, I cannot tell you why I liked it, I just did......

How long on average does it take to record all Next Stop Announcements? Obviously it depends on the length of the route but i reckon i could do it.

We don't get involved with the recordings - that's organised by another department and it's down to the radio stations to record them as soon as they can.
The testing is what takes time. It involves doing a full round trip on the 8, 8A, 45, 46, 78, and 78A. Both sets of routes are quite lengthy, so you can understand why the announcements aren't working yet (especially when citaro5284 and I have many other jobs to be doing!)
We've done a full round trip on services 45 and 46 already, and the Stanley - Consett section of services 78 and 78A. I think citaro5284 is doing the remainder of the "Coast & Country" routes tomorrow.
Of course, there are some things that may need tweaking and suchlike. I went through all of the scrolling messages this morning to ensure that they were all spelled correctly and the grammar was spot on.

I'd love to do one - probably sapphire X21/X22. I might get sick of hearing my voice when I reach Newcastle though haha

It'd be wasted on the X21/X22. They're never working.

Talking of which, we got a laugh in graphics this morning...
We got a sheet and me with my eagle eye spotted that they had spelled grammar 'grammer' in the sentence that told us to make sure our spelling and grammar was correct. I pointed it out and the first response i got off the teacher was 'oh she did it'.

Stu Elmore would be great for Sapphire. Not too jumpy jumpy like S&K but not as boring as Jenny.

I might get sick of hearing my voice when I reach Newcastle though hahaI can't listen to my own voice without cringing, I once had to do a voice-over for a animation project at school, this was probably the first time I've heard my voice and it sounded awful, I sounded like someone from down Leeds, Wakefield way after a night on the drink.

The GNE app only shows service 31 in the Winlaton direction.

When you click onto the service, it displays journeys in both directions. Is it a new feature?

No - always been like that.
That version of the app is still in "BETA" stages, so you're likely to find odd bugs here and there like that.
I'd imagine that when the new website is rolled out, a new app will follow. Not sure where the May date came from for its release - the blog post only stated that the features they were looking to implement and they were asking for opinions.
