Next Stop Announcements - OrangeArrow49 - 01 Jul 2021
I believe NSAs have been recorded for every service? Does that mean every service will have NSAs fitted in the near future? Little Coasters won't get new buses as they don't go into Newcastle, but not sure if the 74 is getting new buses or just emission mods?

With NSA which I believe are recorded for every service, and there is a EV bid for the 74 iirc.

RE: Next Stop Announcements - Train8261 - 20 Oct 2021
But if these solos coming to Percy Main are going to have NSA on board. That's gonna seem odd that only 4 solos at Percy Main have NSA yet the rest don't

I don't know where the NSA stuff is coming from, they don't have it anyway?
They're ex. Percy Main Solo's (647 - 651) as much as they're ex. Venture (they got removed from there nearly 5 year ago).

Didn't the NSA get stripped out of some of the Solos to get put into other vehicles that were getting refurbed a few years ago?
RE: Next Stop Announcements - Train8261 - 20 Oct 2021
Plus im pretty sure during one of the GNE Enthusiasts Facebook live Dan and Martijn said that non of the little coaster buses would never get NSA due to how old they are

I can't confirm 100% but sure 641 - 646 still have them in. It was just the ones which moved out of Consett at the time when they we're replaced by the 59 plate older Solo's and sent to Percy Main for the W1/W3/333 contracts.

641 - 652 all had them taken out - the screens were used in 6043 - 6048 as previously suggested, as were six of the units. From memory (it was 4 years ago now!) the remaining units were kept as spares as they were all out of warranty.
641 - 646 later had Next Stop Announcements fitted again (as well as Wi-Fi) as part of a collaborative effort with Durham County Council to improve services in the Consett area - whenever the X5/X15 were extended to Shotley Bridge.

Was on 678 39 graphite earlier today no mention of the new brand in the next stop announcement yet I later get on 8343 39 non brand and all I get is this is the graphite 39A service to Doxford park. The mind boggles!!
Black Cats 39 sounds so much better IMO

Perhaps there's an issue with the unit updating on 678 and it's waiting for an engineer from Hanover to attend/repair the fault?
The mind boggles...
