RE: Sunderland District | A new network of brands for services in Sunderland - Keeiajs - 26 Nov 2021 Speaking on Berries, can I just say how much I prefer the 2A over the 2. I don't know what it is, I just much prefer it RE: Sunderland District | A new network of brands for services in Sunderland - logidoodah - 28 Nov 2021 (26 Nov 2021, 3:06 pm)deanmachine I like how you picked that up and not the fact that it announces Silksworth incorrectly. "This is the Berries 2A service to silk worth"This might sound petty but when going between The galleries and Sunderland, I purposely wait for the 8 as I really can't take how it says silk worth. Like it is highly annoying.

If you think about how many individual stops they had to record for the NSA system, it's no surprise that there are a few pronunciation errors! As someone who was brought up to pronounce things 'properly', I personally can't stand the fact the X21 says 'Tudda' instead of 'Tudhoe'. I'm guessing they similarly pronounce Prudhoe 'wrong' on the 10s.

RE: Sunderland District | A new network of brands for services in Sunderland - streetdeckfan - 29 Nov 2021 (29 Nov 2021, 12:02 am)logidoodah The difference is that people actually say Prudhoe as "prudha" And people also say 'Prudhoe'! It seems to be 50/50 with people I speak to whether they say 'Tudda' or 'Tudhoe'. To me, if they're using a fairly well spoken voice for the NSA, then they should go with a more 'formal' pronunciation. It just sounds odd to me having a 'posh' woman saying the more colloquial pronunciation RE: Sunderland District | A new network of brands for services in Sunderland - ian foster - 29 Nov 2021 (29 Nov 2021, 12:11 am)streetdeckfan And people also say 'Prudhoe'!Enough about NSA's. keep it to the appropriate field. RE: Sunderland District | A new network of brands for services in Sunderland - Keeiajs - 05 Dec 2021 Put 5304 in Xlines Charcoal Livery. As dedicated spare for X20. Not only would it be cool to see it needs a spare. And it was planned to get repainted so why not.

Could have done another Citaro like They might and I hope they do, but I think getting all the re-brands done first, should be the priority - least then there won't be buses on wrong routes. What's left to repaint now?
