(22 Feb 2019, 5:53 am)ne14ne1 Really? Surely it’d make more sense for it to change as in comes over the Scotswood Bridge and into the City of Newcastle. It would be more useful for passengers at stops from there onwards to see ‘Eldon Square’ as they’re already in Newcastle.

(22 Feb 2019, 3:57 pm)Andreos1 And the chances of any passengers boarding at the handful of stops between the college and Eldon Square, is slim to nil.
Totally agree that it needs to display Eldon Square before the college mind.

(22 Feb 2019, 4:10 pm)Jamie M I find the announcements are a bit iffy on the 12s. Some of the locations are a bit off in all, but I think it's generally good. After spending a week of doing shifts revolving around 12s, I definitely have changed my opinion on the essay that gets read out before approaching the final stop. Hearing it once or twice is ok, hearing it 7 times or so a day, gets a bit repetitive

(22 Feb 2019, 4:13 pm)streetdeckfan I wonder what the drivers of the X9/X10 think of the announcements, I lost count of the amount of times I was told to download the app, or connect to the WiFi

(22 Feb 2019, 6:26 pm)Dan Can barely hear 'em on the X10s. Some drivers have even asked for them to be turned up.

(22 Feb 2019, 6:43 pm)ne14ne1 Dan what do you think of the comments re the Blaydon Racer 12's destinations changing to 'Eldon Square' on the Scotswood Bridge? Likewise will the refurbished Cobalt Clipper's destinations change to 'Haymarket' before arriving at the Benfield Road slip road?

(Having said that most of the Cobalt Clippers may as well terminate at St Marys Place - they seem to arrive and sit there for ages. Upon a morning I see drivers checking everyones off, turning the engine off, shutting the doors and wandering along to Greggs lol).

(22 Feb 2019, 7:11 pm)Dan Yeah, probably got a point. I think it was intended to change at the business park rather than the college. Worth having a look into, anyway.

I'd already confirmed the Cobalt Clipper auto-change of destination when you asked last time! ;-)

(22 Feb 2019, 7:38 pm)ifm001 Must dmit I don't mind them on the x9 and X10. But on a daily basis the Stockton Market announcement grinds on you. And Billingham. Is that announcement sponsored by Asda. Arriving at Billingham. Please alight here for Asda (but disregard the remaining dozen or so shops that surround Asda, Always makes me smile.

(22 Feb 2019, 7:50 pm)streetdeckfan As a passenger, the ones that annoy me the most are on the X21, especially during rush hour. Hearing "This is the Castles Express X21 Service to Bishop Auckland" every couple of minutes for over an hour!

(22 Feb 2019, 8:34 pm)LeeCalder I have to agree with that.

I totally understand why they clarify which service it is, but hearing it as often as it is played gets very annoying after a while.

(23 Feb 2019, 9:51 am)S813 FVK I sense they might have read too much into the use of a Quaylink bus in Go North East's own press release.
